Drills: «What do you remember about Russian, American and English education? Task 1. Match the following education system schemes & its descriptions to the proper national flags: A. В. С. 1. Full-time education in _______ is compulsory for all children aged between 5 and 16 (inclusive). Students may then continue their secondary studies for a further two years (sixth form), leading most typically to an A level qualification. The leaving age for compulsory education was raised to 18 by the Education and Skills Act Higher education typically begins with a 3- year Bachelor's Degree. Postgraduate degrees include Master's Degrees, either taught or by research, and Doctor of Philosophy, a research degree that usually takes at least 3 years. The table below describes the most common patterns for schooling in the state sector in ________. Primary education in ______ is normally conducted through Infant and Junior schools or a combined Primary school. Secondary education normally takes place in secondary schools which cover the two secondary key stages (Key Stage 3 – 4). К ОГЛАВЛЕНИЮ

Table 1. The ______ education system scheme К ОГЛАВЛЕНИЮ

Under the National Curriculum system, all pupils undergo a series of tests at specific points in their education. These are known as Key Stage National Curriculum Tests and are numbered 1 to 4 as follows: * Key Stage 1 (KS1) during Year 2 (ages 6/7) * Key Stage 2 (KS2) towards the end of Year 6 (ages 10/11) * Key Stage 3 (KS3) towards the end of Year 9 (ages 13/14) * Key Stage 4 (KS4) during both Year 10 and 11, mostly at the end of Year 11 (ages 14-16) incorporated into GCSE examinations. Students will typically study in either the Sixth Form of a School, a Sixth form college, or a further education college. These courses can also be studied by adults over 18. This sector is referred to as Further Education. Students normally enter University from 18 onwards and study for an Academic Degree. The typical first degree offered at British universities is the Bachelor's degree (typically three years). Many institutions now offer an undergraduate Master's degree as a first degree, typically lasting four years. During a first degree students are known as undergraduates. 2. Compulsory education in _______ is mandatory. A sub-type of compulsory education is public education. Public education is universal at the primary and secondary levels (known inside the __________ as the elementary and high school levels). In most public and private schools, education is divided into three levels: elementary school, middle school (sometimes called junior high school), and high school (sometimes referred to as secondary education). In almost all schools at these levels, children are divided by age groups into grades, ranging from kindergarten (followed by first grade) for the youngest children in elementary school, up to twelfth grade, which is the final year of high school. The exact age range of students in these grade levels varies slightly from area to area. During high school, students (usually in 11th grade) may take one or more standardized tests (SAT & ACT) depending on their postsecondary education preferences and their local graduation requirements.

3. Eleven-year secondary education in ________ is compulsory since September 1, Until 2007, it was limited to nine years with grades optional. The eleven-year school term is split into elementary (grades 1-4), middle (grades 5-9) and senior (grades 10-11) classes. Absolute majority of children attend full program schools providing eleven-year education. Upon completion of a nine-year program the student has a choice of either completing the remaining two years at normal school, or of a transfer to a specialized professional training school. Historically these were divided into low-prestige PTU's and better- regarded technicums and medical (nurse level) schools. In 2003 the Ministry of Education launched the Unified state examination (USE) program. The set of standardized tests for high school graduates, issued uniformly throughout the country and rated independent of the student's schoolmasters, akin to North ______ SAT, was supposed to replace entrance exams to state universities. Traditionally tertiary education always fitted into a single stage resulting in specialist diploma. It took five to six years to complete; specialist diplomas of selected high-ranking institutions were perceived equal to Western MSc/MA qualification. A specialist graduate needed no further academic qualification to pursue in real–world career, with the exception of some (but not all) branches of medical profession that required post-graduate residency stage. Postgraduate diploma structure so far retains its unique Soviet pattern established in The system makes a distinction between scientific degrees (kandidat nauk and doctor nauk), evidencing personal postgraduate achievement in scientific research, and related but separate academic titles, evidencing personal achievement in university level.
