Aprašymas	The education system has been decentralised for a long time and the school curriculum, the organisation of lessons, and other things vary from school to school. However, education is compulsory for all children from 5 to 16 years of age.

Išsamus aprašymas

British children start school at 5. They go to the primary school which has two divisions: the infant school (from 8 to 11) and junior school. From 11 to 16 British children go to a secondary school.
Until 1965 there were two types of secondary schools: grammar school giving education up to the age of 18, preparing pupils for university entrance. And secondary modern school, which gave general education and some practical training up to the age of 15. Children were selected for grammar school on their ability tests at the age of 11. Now most British secondary schools are comprehensive. They take most of the children without reference to their abilities and give a wide range of secondary education.
At the age of 16 schoolchildren may either leave the school or remain two years longer to prepare for university or college entrance. There are also private schools in Great Britain. In these schools children must pay fees for their education.
After graduating from school children can enter university. The school leavers do not normally have to take entrance examinations (except for Oxford and Cambridge).
