British Education System
◆Introduction ◆History ◆The Present Education System ◆Higher Education
I. Introduction
1.The purpose of the British education system
In 1870, a law was passed to call for government– funded education.
By 1880, attendance at school for children between 5 and 10 was compulsory.
Historically, education was voluntary and many of the schools that existed were set up by churches. The influence of the church on schooling is still strong: until very recently, religious education was the only subject which the state insisted all schools teach their pupils. Daily prayers and singing hymns is still a regular part of school life.
not only to provide children with literacy and the other basic skills they will need to become active members of society
but also to socialize children, learn the rules and values they need to become good citizens, to participate in the community, and to contribute to the economic prosperity of an advanced industrial economy.
基督教是西方文明的象征和基石。英国的好多节日(如
Christmas、Easter holiday)、大学的学期命名(如Lent Term,
Michaelmas Term)都与基督教密切相关。英国的好多著名
大学,如剑桥大学,其前身,实质上就是教会学校,培养传
教士、宣扬神学、维护王权是其最初的目的。
Morning prayer and Grace after meals takes place every day and on Fridays children enjoy a spiritual assembly experience.
Great changes in British educational system
after the Industrial Revolution
Before 1870, only 40% of children under 10 went to school regularly. The main receivers of a more advanced education was the sons of the wealthy.
II. History
Nowadays, the British education system is run by the state, which provides funding, and tries to make sure that all British children receive a quality education. One of the largest, most important government department is the Ministry of Education.
and social class
Britain is a society in which social class is still very important. Class inequality can be erased or continued according to educational policy.
In Britain, the schools you attend are markers that identify your social class. The school tie is a
clear marker of social class.
In Britain, where you are educated is still very important to your future. For example, the “right” universities like Oxford and Cambridge (Oxbridge), is still the single best way to guarantee a successful career. A great number of graduates of Oxbridge dominate government, and are influential in banking, the media, the arts and education.
