British Students

Hello, everyone!! It’s getting cold recently. Let’s eat warm food to warm our body. This week I’m going to talk about education in Britain. For example, I will write on my blog about whether British students are studying or working part-time job, or what I am doing during the day. Enjoy reading untill the end!!

Education in Britain

First, Let’s talk about education in Britain. The British curriculum has four system, 6-5-2-3. In addition, from 5 to 11 years old, they are educated at a primary school called a primary school, and until 16 years old, they are educated at a secondary school for 11 years. Furthermore, primary education to secondary education are divided into five key stages. There is a course of study called the National Curriculum. Before entering elementary school, it is common to spend a year in a class called reception before entering elementary school. There is a preparatory class for compulsory education. Education in Britain is different from that in Japan, and there is no obligation to enroll in a school institution. Therefore, some students are studying at homeschooling. However, the semester system is the same three semester system as in Japan. Thus, compulsory education in Japan seems to be shorter than in Britain. When studying abroad in Britain, international students receive quality education and well-equipped facilities.

Study in Britain

Next, Talk about studying in Britain.

British students study harder than Japanese students. The reason is said to be related to the British education system. British students aren’t studying all the time, and when they’re on vacation, they play and play.

There are three reasons why British students study hard. The first is that study results affect subsequent careers. This is because the grades in Britain is ranked, and graduating by rank has a better effect on employment, not by which school we graduated from.

Second, British students have a lot of homework. British students have more homework than Japanese students. If there are many tasks, we will inevitably study, so it is thought that the reason for studying is that there are many tasks.

The third is the difference in grade evaluation. In contrast to Japanese schools, which are evaluated by attendance and remarks during class, British schools have a system in which a good score can be obtained in a good score. It means that we can get a good score on the exam even if we are not attending the class.

Part-Time job in Britain

In Britain, students are allowed to work part-time job. In Japan, some schools allow high school students to work part-time job, but basically part-time jobs are prohibited for high school students. In Britain, on the other hand, junior high school students are allowed to work part-time job.

Student Life

British student life is a challenge first. British students are highly motivated to study, and few students live part-time jobs. After school, they often go to the library to study. Therefore, library seats are often not available. However, on weekends, most students enjoy outdoor activities and events during the day and go to pub at night to relieve the fatigue of studying.

I thought that if the education system is different, the way of thinking about studying and the lifestyle are different between Britain and Japan. It turns out that difference cultures have different ideas.
