[Music] - Hi friend, how are you doing today? We are going
to discuss about different education systems from all over the world-
especially for school-going students. We'll do a research on countries like USA,
UK, Australia, Singapore, and Canada. First try to find out the education system in
UK. I think Wikipedia is a good source of knowing this information. But
I'm trying to explore and like a layman. The education system in England started with
nursery or playgroup students. Basically, Year-one means the standard
one. Normally age group of two to three years
[Music] are students of Year-one students. There are
different types of schooling available. like state-funded schooling, then
independent schooling, primary schooling infant schooling junior school, primary
school, then middle school, secondary school and college. There are some
examinations like eleven plus, A level English bachelor/Bachelor like
this so 11 plus is a qualifying examination for some
students in England- especially in Northern Ireland.
They participate in of the 11 plus. The entry level is 11 to 12 years old.
Many years ago it was used throughout the England and now it is only used in
countries and remote part of England. This is basically an IQ test. The test
was started in 1944 and it was one of the major exam in primary
education. There are some other schooling systems available in England. But the major
examination is common entrance test. Common entrance test is an independent
schools examination board. Or, also known as ISEB. ISEB offers an examination for the
pupils transferring from junior to independent senior schools at the age group
of 11+ and 13+ in United Kingdom are eligible for this examination.
What are the major subjects in the Common Entrance Examination? it is
an English examination as well as examination in mathematics and science
At 13+ age the examination consists of examination in mathematics in three
papers like mental mathematics paper, plus a written paper (with calculator and
without calculator). English examinations are in two papers (Latin, Greek)
classical Greek, geography, history, regional studies, plus either physics or
chemistry and biology or science. These are the subjects for 13+
[Music] student groups. They can also choose a
modern language like French, German Meridian, Spanish and some other.
If we try to understand the education system of age group like 10 to 15, I
think it is better to understand first the education system of UK then we can
compare the same education system with the other country. We will understand how
the same education pattern is implemented for that particular age
group. There are some other interesting information about the schooling system
of UK. Our most senior school except the candidates on to offer
mathematics, English, science, geography, history, religious studies and one or two
languages. But people from schools which do not offer the traditional range of
subjects to their pupil, they go for some other technique subjects because the
vocational subjects can be used as an alternative in these
particular examination in UK. There was a famous examination known as SATs. Now it
is known as national curriculum assessment. Earlier this was known as
SATs. It is the standard of primary schools in England.
Normally the government-funded primary school in England use this
curriculum. [Music]
According to that National Curriculum of assessment
now the key stages are K1 & K2
There are 2 elements in the stationary assessment process of p1 test
and teacher assessment. This set is not too much interesting. The major target is
to pass the Common Entrance Examination. Because once you clear this exam, you can
start a new career in the higher study. It is designed for
Scholarship candidates and the Scholarship papers are there in each of mathematics,
geography, English, French, science, history, religious studies, and Latin. The Scholarship
candidates do not sit in the common papers or The common
academy Scholarship paper. It is also known as GCSE. The most senior examination
for secondary school candidates. The major subjects are mathematics English science geography
history and religious studies. There are three times a year, the papers held.
such as January June and November. The papers are set Monday to Friday
The candidates usually sit in examination paper at their own
school at a fixed date. The papers are marked by other
senior schools.
you will find some example papers in ISEB.co.uk. Website.
The examination has it's own board website and common guidance.
The are provided by many other website so we understand that in England ISEB
examination is a major examination for school pass-out students and it can give
you the opportunity to achieve some good Scholarship in higher study. Let's move to
the USA. The pre school level starts with pre-kindergarten the age group is 3
to 5. Pre-kindergarten level students are children of age group 3 to
5. It is same as for the kids in
Canada. They normally go to elementary schools and
then Primary school. Pre-kindergarten is often used for a concept of nursery care
where actually children are kept in special care. At this
stage the students are very small kids. so their social development physical
develop and emotional develop and cognitive development are focused at
that stage.
The teachers and The students are totally involved in
some basic learning process. The next stage is the kindergarten. This stage
is suitable for age group to 5 to 6. Kindergarten is the starting point of
the elementary school. The first grade age group are 6 to 7. Second grade 7 to 8
and third grade 8 to 9. Normally age group of 9 to 10 are 4th grade. The fifth
get started with age group 10 to 11. 6th grade are 10 to 15.
The freshman's are ninth grade student and
11 grade student are known as junior and 12 grade
student are known as senior. If you complete 12 grade, you completely 18
years of study. At the age of 18, they can go for the higher
education. Higher education means the college and universities then graduation
level. The age group of 10 to 15 years fifth grade to 10th grade. Normally
fifth grade is the most senior year of an elementary school.
There was a famous TV show, "are you smarter
than a 5th grade? so 5th grade kids know a lot of thing about science mathematics
history geography. Sixth grade is also known as K-7 or year seven in UK.
In Asian country that age is known as class-VI. A 5th grade student knows
little bit about everything including maths, science and geography history
so all over the world if you take account the countries like Senegal
Morocco in Africa India Pakistan in Nepal Bhutan in Asia China, Laos, Malaysia,
Philippines, Singapore, Romania, Bulgaria, Finland, all over the world the
sixth grade student are the primary level education passed out student.
they know a little bit about natural science, history, geography, physical
innovation and language like English Spanish. The age group of sixth grade
to ten are all common again. No matter, it is in UK or Australia or in USA
almost same curriculum are used in other countries. The age of 6th to 10th age
is a period of time when you can learn as a lot of things about
history geography grammar.
it is one of the keys stage of learning process. Today we learned a lot of things
about the education system of Western countries and the similarity
of all over the world. Thank you and we'll discuss another important topic in
the next video. [Music]
