Abstract
Ph.D. (Education)
Education in the United Kingdom is divided into three stages which are:
primary, secondary, further and higher education. Learners’ compulsory
education lasts for 11 years. Legal schooling ages are starting from five years
to 16 years. Within that period learners must obtain full-time education that is
suitable to their age, ability, capacity and their special educational needs
(SEN). If a learner does not attend a school, the local education authority
(LEA) must be satisfied that other appropriate provision is available for them.
Transferring age from primary to secondary school is at the age of 11 years.
Most secondary schools in the United Kingdom are comprehensive; which
means that they do not operate a selective entrance system. However, in
some parts of the United Kingdom, grammar school systems operates which
usually requires learners to pass an entrance examination based on their
ability.
