Education in Russia and in the UK
Makhirev Artem 111
Education in the UK and in Russia.

Education in the United Kingdom is different between countries. Countries of the United Kingdom have separate education systems under separate governments: the UK Government is responsible for England; the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government and the Northern Ireland Executive are responsible for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, respectively.
In Russia education is the same in every region of the country. However, there may be a few minor changes in distant regions mainly because of the lack of people and money. Ministry of Education is responsible for the Education system in all country.
In the UK there are five stages of education: early years, primary, secondary, Further Education (FE) and Higher Education (HE). The law states that full time education is compulsory for all children between the ages of 5 (4 in Northern Ireland) and 16, the Compulsory School Age (CSA). In England, compulsory education or training has been extended to 18 for those born after 1 September 1997. This full-time education does not need to be at a school and a growing number of parents choose to home educate. Further Education is non-compulsory, and covers non-advanced education which can be taken at further education colleges and Higher Education institutions. The fifth stage, Higher Education, is study beyond A levels which, for most full-time students, takes place in universities and other Higher Education institutions and colleges.
In Russia educational stages are the same but early years education is optional as there is lack of space in such public institutions. Also children enter primary school at the age of 6 or 7 and finish secondary school at the age of 17 or 18, respectively. Nevertheless, some students have option to leave secondary school after 9th grade and to study in technical colleges but many students study until they have finished the last, 11th, grade in order to the option to enter university
