The UK - System of education, universities

Education plays very important role in British society. It often determines man’s social role and standard of living. Many people receive a form of higher education. Reasons of studying are different. Someone must study because of parents, someone just wants to earn more money in future, someone longs for knowledge and someone just doesn’t want to work.

In the UK education is compulsory for children between the ages of 5 and 16. Of course, education of each child is started by his parents. Bringing up only by parents can take even 5 years. But child can also attend Nursery school (It’s only about half of children), where some basic rules and skills child can learn- such as how to eat, speak, how to behave or just how to hold pen or pencil in hand,
