Образование в Великобритании

Great Britain has no written constitution and that is why the system of education is determined by the National Acts. Education in England and Wales is nearly the same, while in Scotland and Northern Ireland the systems are different. The majority of schools are supported by public funds and education in them is free. Most parents choose to send their children to these schools, but there are also a great number of fee-paying private or “independent” (“public”) schools.
