Hoje aprenderemos sobre o sistema educacional no
Reino Unido.
Poderemos fazer a comparação com a educação
no Brasil, nosso dia-a-dia na escola e o ano letivo.
Let’s go!

Educations in the
UK.

Education is an important part of British life. There
are hundreds of schools, colleges and universities,
including some of the most famous in the world.
Education is free and compulsory for all children
between the ages of 5 – 16. Some children are
educated at home, not at school. This is called
homeschooling. Children’s education in England is
normally divided into two separate stages.
They begin with primary education at the age of five
and this usually lasts until they are eleven. Then
they move to secondary school. There they stay
until they are sixteen, seventeen or eighteen years
of old. Parents and students always call the
teachers in primary schools (4-11 year olds) by their
last name with the tittle before (Mr., Mrs. Or Miss).
In secondary schools (11-16 years), teachers are
usually addressed as Miss or Sir.
