Education in England

 The education system in the UK

is divided into four main parts,
primary education, secondary
education, further education and
higher education.
Education in England

 The education system in the

UK is also split into "key
stages" which breaks down
as follows:
• Key Stage 1: 5 to 7 years
old
• Key Stage 2: 7 to 11 years
old
• Key Stage 3: 11 to 14
years old
• Key Stage 4: 14 to 16
years old
 Primary Education

 In primary school, school children remain in

one class throughout the year, but may
change classrooms for English and
Mathematics. Each school can decide the
name of classrooms: some choose world
animals, significant individuals, world
countries and continents, or simply their
year range (Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, etc).
 English, mathematics, and science are
normally taught in the mornings and art &
design, history, geography, design &
technology, ancient & modern languages,
religion, citizenship, computing, music,
physical education, etc in the afternoons.
Literacy, reading, mathematics, science,
geographical and historical skills are often
incorporated in cross-curriculum
assessments and activities.
Secondary Education

 In secondary school, school children have their

own tutor group, but are split up into different
classes and have their own timetable
(sometimes divided between week A and week
B).
 Tutoring lessons in the mornings and late
afternoons are for citizenship studies and the
rest of the day consists of subjects such as
English literature, English language,
mathematics, science (biology, chemistry,
physics, astronomy, etc), citizenship, history,
geography, art & design, design & technology,
drama & media arts, modern languages
(French, German, Spanish, Italian, etc),
business & economics, religion, music,
photography, engineering, computing, physical
education, etc.
 Higher Education

 Higher education in England is provided

by Higher Education (HE) colleges, 
university colleges, universities and
private colleges. Students normally enter
higher education as undergraduates from
age 18 onwards, and can study for a
wide variety of vocational and academic
qualifications, including 
certificates of higher education and 
higher national certificates at level 4, 
diplomas of higher education, 
higher national diplomas and 
foundation degrees at level 5, 
bachelor's degrees (normally with 
honours) at level 6, and integrated 
master's degrees and degrees in
medicine, dentistry, and veterinary
science at level 7.

subjects
 School uniform

 School uniforms are defined by

individual schools, within the
constraint that uniform regulations
must not discriminate on the
grounds of sex, race, disability,
sexual orientation, gender
reassignment, religion or belief.
Schools may choose to permit
trousers for girls or religious dress.
[45] Local councils may provide

assistance with the cost of

uniforms and PE kit.[46]

Education in Usa

 Education in the United

States is provided in public, 
private, and home schools. State
 governments set overall
educational standards, often
mandate standardized tests for 
K–12 public school systems and
supervise, usually through a
board of regents, state colleges,
and universities.

 A student must meet a determined

 G.P.A. (grade point average)

 A student can apply before receiving the high school diploma (and will be
accepted after the university receives the diploma)
School uniform

 Most schools in the United States do not require uniforms, but

instead enforce a standardized dress code of what types of clothing
are appropriate for students to wear to school. Such dress codes vary
from school to school, but are normally based on broader policies set
by the county's elected school board. Private schools (schools
requiring tuition and formal acceptance in order to attend) and other
specialized schools are typically the only schools to require uniforms
of the school administration's choosing.

Education in
Moldova

 Education in Moldova is currently the

responsibility of the 
Ministry of Education, Culture and Resea
rch
.
 In 1990, the average Moldovan spent six
years in school, and only 30% of people
older than 15 had completed secondary
education. After the end of Soviet rule,
reforms were established that required
nationals to receive a basic education
over 10 years, followed by enrollment in
a technical school or an institution of
higher learning.
Grading System in Moldova

 The lowest grade (mark) in the Moldovan educational system is 1, the highest is
10. To pass a course, a subject, or an exam, the student must obtain a mark of
5 or above
