years old).

5. The English Educational System

6. There are 3 types of state secondary schools in Great Britain. They are:

1) comprehensive schools, which take pupils of
all abilities without exams. In such schools pupils
are often put into certain sets or groups, which
are formed according to their abilities for
technical or humanitarian subjects;
2) grammar schools, which give secondary
education of a very high standard. Entrance is
based on the test of ability;
3) modern schools, which don't prepare pupils
for universities. Education in such schools gives
good prospects for practical jobs.

Compulsory education ends at 16.
After secondary education, pupils take
GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary
Education) examination.
