Schools Abroad

 

In Britain all children from five to sixteen go to school. They spend six years in primary school and then go on to secondary school. In Britain there are state schools, which are free and private schools for which parents pay. Many British private schools are boarding schools. The children there usually wear uniforms. They stay at school all the time and only come home in the holidays.

In America all children from 6 to 16 go to school. They spend six years in elementary school and four or six years in secondary or high school. At the end of every school year the child takes a test. If he doesn't do well, he has to repeat the material once more. If he does well he will go into the next class. School education is free. Some schools have modern teaching equipment like computers. But there are also small country schools with just one classroom. At the end of their time at school, most students get a high school diploma.
