Explications :

1. As in France, education is compulsory from the age of 5 to 16.

2. The school year starts in September, ends in July and is divided into three terms: Autumn Term from September to Christmas, Spring Term from January to Easter, Summer Term from April to July, with an average of 12 weeks of classes each term.

Mid term, there is always a holiday of more or less a week.

3. the education system focuses more on practice than on working tirelessly on memorization of lessons. English teachers think it is important that what is learned in class is useful for tomorrow and thus avoid that children forget what they have seen as soon as they go out into the yard.

4. In addition, the English school system associates the children's school year in a different way than the European country. For example, in France, it may be common for two students to be in the same class 12 months apart, but in the UK, classes are organised according to the school year and not the year of birth. That is: The child who was born in July will be in the course from before to the one who was born in August, although they are both from the same year. This is certainly one of the things that strikes us the most in the English school system.

5. In the British education system, the school uniform, unlike in France, is generally compulsory in most schools, whether public or private.  The most common uniforms can be purchased in supermarkets, supermarkets or even directly at school. They are usually quite economical.

6. The prestige of English schools is not given. Its educational quality is impeccable and it is quite difficult for our system to compete with English. This is something that the British education system is proud of. we cannot therefore deny the United Kingdom, their educational tradition, which is long and distinguished, with antecedents that many countries would like to have.

However, it is also known that school year rates are much higher than in France, not to mention elite schools, which are usually inaccessible to most economies.

7. Classes are usually much smaller than in France, with an average of 9 students per class, so classes can be more personal and the tutor can focus more on each student individually.
