System of Czech and British education

Law orders three levels of education in Britain - the primary school, the secondary school and the further education. Children from five to eleven years go to primary school, from twelve to sixteen years to secondary school, from sixteen and eighteen years take the A level exams or go to a six form college. They take the A level exams in eighteen years and from eighteen years study university, polytechnic or a college of education. Good results in the A level exams are the presumption for entrance on some of British universities. Interviews are important too. Schools in Britain are divided into Humanitarian/Art spheres and Sciential spheres. Students, who want to attend Humanitarian spheres, study English and literature, history, foreign language, music, art and theatre scholarship. Those who want to attend to Sciential spheres, study chemistry, physics, mathematics, economy, engineering drawing, biology and geography. All scholars have to pass physical education, teaching about housekeeping, engineering works for girls and basics of natural science.

The Czech education system is divided this way: attendance to primary school takes nine years. The primary school is divided into the first level and the second level. After finishing of the primary school the scholars can go on a grammar school, a special school or a vocational school. When we study a grammar school or a special school we do the leaving examination and then we get the leaving certificate. Contrary to the British education system, the leaving certificate isn´t presumption for entrancing the university. When we want to go at university we have to do special entrance examination. They can go at college or a university. We can get the Bachelor's degree or the Master's degree.

There are several differences between British schools end Czech schools. One of them is wearing of uniforms. Students are obliged to wear a uniform but this rule doesn’t exist in the Czech Republic. Marks in Britain are given away in the form of letters – the best is A and the worst is E. In the Czech republic are marks in a form of numbers – the best is 1 and the worst is 5. Advantage of the British education system may be that if we do the A level exams we may be admitted to university. It isn´t like that in the Czech Republic – the leaving examination doesn´t have such a high relevance in here. Graduation of a secondary school in Britain has a higher value than in the Czech Republic. Not unfrequently happens that people with the secondary level works in various inferior jobs.

In my opinion in the Czech education system doesn’t accentuate the individuality of a person. Education is oriented on a performance generally no matter what are interests or needs of a student. A frequent problem is also a wrong communication between a teacher and a student. Another disadvantage is prefering of swotting instead usage of logic, discretion or an opinion. I think these are primarily problems of public schools in full op classes where isn´t enough space and time. I remember when very few of students came to our class. Lessons were quieter, students listened and weren´t so much dispersived like in a collective of thirty classmates.

The most known universities in Britain are the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford and the University of Glasgow. The most important universities in the Czech Republic are the Charles University and the best known universities in America are Harvard University, Yale University and Princeton.

My favourite subject in school is the English language. Because I hadn´t english at a primary school I have to learn a lot of things. However, I like foreign languages generally and English is very close to me. I like it is a language I can make understood with in the whole world and I would like to improve it in some outland in the future. I try to watch different english films with captions and read english articles. My another favourite subject is economy. I like that it is a subject which I can use in a practical life. I also like history – I like going back to the past. Contrary to that I don´t like mathematics because it is very abstract subject for me. I like solving of simple mathematical exercises but I must say that I´m bored with some complex and surd numbers and so on. However, mathematics train our logic and that is a big advantage.
