Education in England Every child in England between the age of five and fifteen must attend schools.
There are three main types of educational institutions, primary (elementary) schools, secondary schools, and
universities.
Like most countries in the world, there are two types of schools in England, independent schools (fee-
paying schools) and state schools in which students do not have to pay tuition fees. In both types, attendance
is compulsory. Morning classes begin at nine o dock and last until half past four in the afternoon. After
classes, most English children often stay at school and take part in extracurricular activities like sports,
singing and dancing. Schools are open five days a week. On Saturdays and Sundays there are no lessons.
There are holidays at Christmas, Easter and in summer. In London as in all cities there are two grades of
schools for those who will go to work at fifteen: primary schools for boys and girls between the ages of five
and eleven, and secondary schools for children from eleven to fifteen.
Besides such compulsory lessons as reading, writing, the English language, English literature,
English history, geography, science, and nature study, children in England can take many
optional subjects
like drawing, painting, singing, or woodwork to develop their aptitudes.
