The educational system of Great Britain developed for over a
hundred years. It is a complicated system with wide variations
between one part of the country and another. Education in Great
Britain is compulsory for all citizens at the age from 5 till 16
years. There are two sectors of education: state (free education)
and private (paid education). In Great Britain there are two
education systems which easily get on together: the first is in
England, the Wales and Northe Ireland, the second — in Scotland.
