Nine million children attend 35.000 schools in Britain. Education is compulsory from 5 till 16 years. At first children go to primary schools, and at 11 or 12 they move to secondary schools. These are usually secondary modern schools, where they receive a general and practical education until they are at least 15; or grammar schools, where they can Stay until they are about 18, then transferring to places of higher education; or comprehensive schools, in which all types of secondary education are given and where the children's courses are chosen to suit them from a wide range of subjects. In some areas there are middle schools for children of about 9 to 13 who then move to senior comprehensive schools.
The school day starts at about 9 o'clock. Most children at day schools have their midday meal at school and go home about 4 o'clock. Country children are generally brought to and from home by school buses.
At 16 pupils take a national exam called GCSE(General Certificate of Secondary Education) and then they can leave school if they wish. This is the end of compulsory education.
There are 44 universities in Britain, over 700 technical colleges teaching everything from engineering to satellite communications; many other types of training colleges include art schools, colleges of education for teacher training, and commercial colleges.
Universities govern themselves, although they receive most of their money from the Government. Oxford and Cambridge and some others are made up of separate colleges where students live and work. Other universities, like Manchester or Bristol, do not have separate colleges, their students meet together for classes and live in hostels
