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.
