Education plays a very important role in our life. It is one of the most valuable possessions a man can get in his life.

During all the periods of human history education ranked high among people. Human progress mostly depended upon well-educated people. We get our knowledge of this world and life through education. Many famous discoveries would have been impossible if people were not interested in learning something. Self-education is very important for the development of human’s talents. Only through self-education a person can become a harmonically developed personality.

A person becomes a highly qualified specialist after getting some special education. And professionalism can be reached only through it. Even highly qualified specialists from time to time attend refresher courses to refresh their knowledge.

Education develops all sides of human personality, reveals his abilities. Besides, it helps a person to understand himself, to choose the right way in this world. The civilized state differs from others in the fact that it pays much attention to the educational policy. John Kennedy said: “Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education”. But it doesn’t concern only one particular nation. We know that science and art belong to the whole world. Before them the barriers of nationality disappear. So education brings people closer to each other, helps them to understand each other better.

Образование в нашей жизни

Образование играет очень важную роль в нашей жизни. Это одна из самых ценных вещей, которую человек может получить в своей жизни.

В течение всех периодов человеческой истории образование имело высокий рейтинг среди населения. Человеческий прогресс в основном зависит от хорошо образованных людей. Мы получаем наши знания о мире и жизни посредством образования. Многие известные открытия были бы невозможны, если бы люди не были заинтересованы научиться чему-то. Самообразование имеет большое значение для развития человеческих талантов. Только путем самообразования человек может стать гармонично развитой личностью.

Человек становится высококвалифицированным специалистом после получения специального образования. А профессионализм может быть достигнут только через него. Даже высококвалифицированные специалисты время от времени посещают курсы повышения квалификации для обновления своих знаний.

Образование развивает все стороны человеческой личности, раскрывает все способности. Кроме того, оно помогает человеку понять самого себя, чтобы выбрать правильный путь в этом мире. Цивилизованное государство отличается от других тем, что оно уделяет большое внимание образовательной политике. Джон Кеннеди сказал: "Наш прогресс как нации не может быть быстрее, чем наш прогресс в образовании". Но это касается не только одной конкретной нации. Мы знаем, что наука и искусство принадлежит всему миру. Перед ними барьеры национальностей исчезают. Образование объединяет людей, помогает им лучше понимать друг друга.

Educational system in Russia (informal letter)

Thanks a lot for your letter. Hope you passed your German test.

You asked me about the educational system in Russia. Well, most people go to nursery school first between 3 and 7 years old. Then, from age 7 onwards, education is compulsory and everybody goes to primary school until you`re 10 years old.

Between 11 and 15 years old, we go to secondary school. At the age of 16, we move to senior high school and stay there until 18. We take exams after secondary and after senior high school. They`re very important and you have to get good grades inthose exams to get into university.

In Russia education is free for everybody, but there`re private schools as well.

Sorry, I`ve got to go now. Lots of homework to do.

Дорогая Энн,

Большое спасибо за твое письмо. Надеюсь, ты хорошо написала тест по истории.

Ты спрашивала про систему образования в России. Большинство людей в возрасте от 3 до 7 лет ходят в детский сад. С 7 лет образование обязательное и все идут в начальную школу, где учатся до 10 лет.

С 11 до 15 лет мы учимся в средней школе. В 16 лет мы переходим в старшую школу и учимся там до 18 лет. Мы сдаем экзамены после окончания средней и старшей школы. Они очень важные и тебе необходимо получить за них высокие баллы, чтобы поступить в университет.

В России образование бесплатное, но здесь также есть частные школы.

Прости, но мне надо идти. Много домашнего задания.

Всего наилучшего,

«Гимназия № 4»

Пояснительная записка

К проекту на тему: «Система образования в России и Англии».

Почему я выбрала тему «Система образования в России и Англии» ?

В этом году я решила сделать проект по английскому языку, так как это один из моих любимых предметов. Есть много тем и слов, которые мне интересны на уроках английского, но я решила взять именно ту тему, о которой мы не так много слышали на уроках английского языка и это как раз таки тема Образования. Таким образом, я захотела сравнить систему образования в Англии и России.

Работая над проектом, я пользовалась различными источниками информации: интернетом, схемами и картинками, книгами и учебниками, обобщала полученную информацию, анализировала ее и затем делала выводы.

Актуальность : моей темы, заключается в том, что без образования в нашей жизни ты никуда не сможешь устроиться на работу и будешь неграмотным человеком.

Цель моего проекта : определить насколько образованы люди в Англии и России, и сравнить полученный результат.

Задачи моего проекта:

1. Составить план проекта;

2. Собрать теоретическую информацию;

3. Обобщить информацию;

4. Показать диаграмму о уровне образовании в Англии и России;

5. Сделать выводы на основе полученного материала.

Мной была выдвинута гипотеза, что уровень образования в Англии и России одинаковый.

Объект исследования: система образования в Англии и России.

Предмет исследования: сравнение диаграмм в процентном соотношении по уровню образования в Англии и России.

I.Education in Russia

1.1.S

1.2.Levels of education

Education in Russia is compulsory for children between the ages of 6 and 15. It consists of primary school education for ages 6-10, followed by senior school for ages 10-15. If a pupil of secondary school wishes to go on in higher education, he or she must remain to complete secondary school for 2 more years, from ages 15-17.

Primary and secondary school includes 11 years of study. Every school has a core curriculum of academic subjects. After completing this stage, pupils are awarded the Attestat o Srednem (Polnom) Obshchem Obrazovanii (Certificate of Secondary Complete General Education).

At 15 years old, children may choose to enter a vocational school or non-university institute. These typically offer programmes of academic subjects and a programme of training in a technical field until students reach 17 or 18. Such institutions used to be called technikum but now most of them are known as colleges.

Classwork often means reciting and written and oral testing. Criticism by the teacher in front of the class is frequent. If a student does not perform to standard, they will be ‘left back’ to remain another year.

1.3.School hours and holidays

The Russian school year is comprised of 4 terms with vacations in between; 1 week in November, 2 weeks in January, 1 week in March and nearly 3 months in summer. School is held from September 1 until the final week of May, with exams in June.

The school day normally starts at 8 a.m. and finishes at 1 or 2 in the afternoon. Students generally attend class 5 days a week, although some schools require extra study on Saturdays.

A typical lasts 40 - 45 minutes with a 5 -15 minute break in between. In primary school students have 4 classes a day. This increases to 5 or 6 classes a day in secondary school, and 6 or 7 at a senior high school.

A normal class consists of 20-30 students. In primary school, pupils have one teacher for all the subjects taught.

1.4.Types of schools in Russia

There are usual state schools in Russia , in addition, state and private Lyceums and gymnasias . It is a serious problem for the parents to decide, which school their child should attend. The quality of the education in state schools is not always so good, as in gymnasias . But gymnasias are much more expensive. Different additional subjects are also taught in gymnasias , and that may be difficult for children. However, state schools, Lyceums and gymnasias are subordinated generally to the unified educational system of Russia .

During three or four years a child goes to the primary school where he studies only simple subjects, like mathematics and reading, for example. Then the middle school begins, the list of the subjects is enlarged. Every school has its main teaching program , the Russian language, literature, mathematics, natural sciences and body culture belong to it.

The primary school and the middle school last up to 11 years, but already after 9 years children can go to a college (or vocational school). If a pupil wants to go on the university, he must attend the school for two years more.

After leaving the middle school, the Lyceums, the gymnasia, or the vocational school one can get the higher education. All entrants must pass entrance examinations. Today these entrance examinations are often connected with final examinations. That is if one has passed the final examinations well, the entrance examinations won’t already be necessary. Moreover, one can pay for the high education and also pass no entrance examinations.

At the university specialists are trained. Students study at the university during four years, then they get the Bachelor degree. Then one can study more for two years to get the master’s degree. The master’s degree is considered to be an advantage for potential employers.

1.5.Boarding schools

The Suvorov Military Schools are a type of boarding school in the former and in modern and Belarus for boys of 14–18. Education in such these schools focuses on military related subjects. The schools are named after , the great 18th century general.

Their naval counterparts among Russian military schools for teenagers are the . They are named after , the 19th century .

This type of schools was created in the USSR during the in December, 1943 to provide boys of school age, particularly those from families of military personnel, with a specializing in military (Army, Navy, Intelligence, etc.) subjects and training. Boarding school aspect was particularly important at the time because many students were war orphans, either without parents or with only surviving mother unable to support them.

A number of Suvorov/Nakhimov Military Schools still exist in the CIS countries (including Belarus). The Suvorov schools in Russia are now subordinate to the Commander-in-Chief of the .

II.Education in England

2.1. S tructure and organization of the education system

2.2. Levels of education

In some areas of England there are nursery schools for children under 5 years of age. Some children between two and five receive education in nursery classes or in infants classes in primary schools. Many children attend informal pre-school play-groups organised by parents in private homes. Nursery schools are staffed with teachers and students in training.
There are all kinds of toys to keep the children busy from 9 o’clock in the morning till 4 o’clock in the afternoon while their parents are at work.
Here the babies play, lunch and sleep. They can run about and play in safety with someone keeping an eye on them.

For day nurseries which remain open all the year round the parents pay according to their income. The local education authority’s nurseries are free. But only about three children in 100 can go to them: . there aren’t enough places, and the waiting lists are rather long.

Most children start school at 5 in a primary school. A primary school may be divided into two parts-infants and juniors. At infants school reading, writing and arithmetic are taught for about 20 minutes a day during the first year, gradually increasing to about 2 hours in their last year. There is usually no written timetable. Much time is spent in modelling from clay or drawing, reading or singing.

By the time children are ready for the junior school they will be able to read and write, do simple addition and subtraction of numbers.

At 7 children go on from the infants school to the junior school. This marks the transition from play to «real work». The children have set periods of arithmetic, reading and composition which are all Eleven Plus subjects. History, Geography, Nature Study, Art and Music, Physical
Education, Swimming are also on the timetable.

Pupils were streamed according to their abilities to learn into A, B, С and D streams. The least gifted are in the D stream. Formally towards the end of their fourth year the pupils wrote their Eleven Plus Examination.
The hated 11 + examination was a selective procedure on which not only the pupils’ future schooling but their future careers depended. The abolition of selection at Eleven Plus Examination brought to life comprehensive schools where pupils can get secondary education.

There are some types of secondary schools in England. They are: grammar schools, modern schools and comprehensive schools.

Secondary Schools. At the age of 11 when children leave junior school to start the second stage of their education they go to assessment centers or for interviews at local secondary schools. This system has replaced the old selective examination (it was called "Eleven Plus Examination") which was much criticized by teachers and parents. Nowadays most of the secondary schools in Great Britain have gone over to be comprehensive system. Almost 50% of all secondary schools are single sex.

The Comprehensive Schools take all children over eleven regardless of their supposed intelligence. In these schools children are not separated according to ability. On graduating, the students can enter universities, colleges, polytechnics or other higher educational establishments.

The organization of state schooling is not centralized as in most European countries. Firstly, there is no prescribed curriculum. Secondly, the types of school available and the age ranges vary in different parts of the country. State schooling in the United Kingdom is financed partly by the government and partly by local rates.

Pupils going on to higher education or professional training usually take "A" level examinations in two or three subjects. Universities accept students mainly on the basis of their "A" level results.

There are forty-seven universities in Britain and thirty former polytechnics, plus 350 colleges and institutes of higher education.

The most famous universities are Oxford and Cambridge, called "Oxbridge".

2.3.School hours and holidays

The English academic year runs from September to July.

Schools are open for 195 days each school year.

English schools have six terms (semesters), separated by holidays (vacations).

The school year is 39 weeks long and is divided into six terms:

Term 1 - September to October (followed by a one week holiday)

Term 2 - October to December (followed by a two week holiday)

Term 3 - January to February (followed by a one week holiday)

Term 4 - February to March (followed by a two week holiday)

Term 5 - April to May (followed by a one week holiday)

Term 6 - June to July (followed by a six week summer holiday)

Holidays / Vacations

Our main School holidays are:

Christmas - 2 weeks

Spring - 2 weeks

Summer (end of July and the whole of August) - 6 weeks

We also have a one week holiday at the end of every odd numbered term.

2.4. Types of schools in England

The main categories of school are:-

local authority maintained schools (State Schools)
Free to all children between the ages of 5 - 16

. (Private/Public Schools)
Parents pay for their children"s" education.

State Schools

In the UK 93% of the children in England and Wales go to "state schools". State schools are non fee-paying, funded from taxes and most are organized by Local Authorities (LA).

Parents are expected to make sure that their child has a pen, pencil, ruler etc. but the cost of other more specialized equipment, books, examination fees are covered by the school.

Parents are, however, expected to pay for their child"s school uniform and items of sports wear. Charges may also be made for music lessons and for board and lodgings on residential trips. Schools may ask for voluntary contributions for school time activities - but no pupil may be left out of an activity if their parents or guardian cannot or do not contribute.

Fee Paying Schools

Independent Schools
7% of the children in England go to independent schools. Independent schools are known as private schools and public schools . Parents pay for their children to attend these schools.

Nursery/Kindergarten 2 to 4 years

Pre-preparatory 3 or 4 to 7 years

Preparatory 7 to 11 or 13 years

Public 11 or 13 to 18 years

2.5.Boarding schools

One of top boarding schools in England! A great residential school in academically oriented Cambridge! Abbey College in Cambridge is an independent 6th form college that offers a stimulating environment in which staff and students work together to achieve academic success. There are about 260 students at the college, almost all of whom are in the 6th form and preparing for the General Certificate of Education at A-level.

Abbey College Cambridge is part of the Alpha Plus Group and aims to maintain a "gold standard" of education. Classes are small, so enabling students and teachers to focus upon the most effective ways of learning.

The track record of Abbey College Cambridge students speaks for itself. Our results have established the college as one of the very best independent 6th form colleges in Great Britain. In the 2012 A-level examinations our students achieved the following pass rates: grade A* 40%, grade A*/A 72% and grade A*/B 89%.

The city of Cambridge is a fusion of the everyday and the extraordinary. It is a city that has shaped history and continues to make its mark on the future.

III. Practical work

In my practical work I decided to compare the level of education in Russia and England. I thought that the level can be the same, but if you look at the diagrams which are shown you the real difference.

Diagram of Russian level of education

Diagram of English level of education

When I compared the difference I was shocked, because in the first picture you can see that our people mostly have secondary education or secondary professional education, but in the second picture you can see that people in England have higher education or even academic degree.

I think, my generation will improve this rating, because we understand how useful is to be an educated person. Good education leads to personality development, psychological improvement of a person. It improves thinking, differentiation of good and bad, behavior. In a few years Russia will be at the top of all ratings around the world and many foreigners will come to our country to study here in our schools.

Заключение

По итогам проведенной мной исследовательской работы, я могу сказать, что достигла поставленной цели, выяснив, насколько образованы люди в Англии и России. Моя гипотеза не подтвердилась, так как я предполагала, что уровень образования одинаковый в этих странах. Однако, по диаграммам можно увидеть, что в России превалирует среднее полное и среднее профессиональное образование. А в Англии наоборот, очень много людей, которые заканчивают высшее образование или имеют ученую степень.

Мне было очень интересно работать над данной темой, результат исследования меня даже удивил. Но одно, я знаю точно, что без образования не получить хорошей работы.

Полученная мной информация пригодиться на уроках английского, а так же на уроках обществознания. Я буду рада просветить своих одноклассников

Our modern world is full of technological advances and education is very important today. Human progress mainly depends on well-educated people. They say that those who have information, rule the world.

When we are 7 years old we are sent to schools to get useful knowledge about our world, although that isn’t the main purpose of education. The most important thing, to my mind, is learning how to learn in order to use this ability in our future life. At school children also enjoy lots of cultural activities which reveal their personal talents. However some people think that the current system of education isn’t able to teach pupils how to become good thinkers and schools are only about passing exams.

Education is very important for me and it goes without saying that I’m planning to get a higher education after finishing school. I’m sure it will enable me to achieve better prospects in career growth. Nowadays you can’t find an interesting job with a decent salary without a certain level of education because every company looks for well-qualified specialists. While studying at a university you get essential knowledge for your future profession. Moreover, university life is always exciting and eventful.

I believe it is impossible to overestimate the importance of education. It is one of the most valuable possessions and the most powerful weapons we can get in our life. It develops many sides of human personality and helps us to understand ourselves deeper. Education trains the mind to think, that’s why educated people have the ability to change our world and contribute to the well-being of our society.

Перевод

Наш современный мир полон научно-технических достижений, и образование сегодня очень важно. Человеческий прогресс в основном зависит от хорошо образованных людей. Говорят, что те, кто владеет информацией, управляет миром.

Когда нам исполняется семь лет, нас отправляют в школу для того, чтобы мы получили полезные знания о мире, хотя это не является главной целью образования. Наиболее важным, на мой взгляд, является обучение тому, как надо учиться для того, чтобы использовать это умение в нашей будущей жизни. В школе дети также наслаждаются богатой культурной жизнью, в которой раскрываются их индивидуальные таланты. Однако некоторые люди считают, что действующая система образования не способна научить детей тому, как стать эффективными мыслителями, и школы существуют лишь для того, чтобы сдавать экзамены.

Образование для меня очень важно и, само собой разумеется, что я намереваюсь получить высшее образование после окончания школы. Уверен, что это даст мне возможность добиться хорошей перспективы в карьерном росте. В наше время невозможно найти интересную работу с приличной заработной платой без определенного уровня образования, поскольку любой компании нужны квалифицированные специалисты. Во время учебы в университете вы получаете важные знания для своей будущей профессии. Более того, университетская жизнь очень увлекательна и насыщена событиями.

Я считаю, что невозможно переоценить важность образования. Это одно из наиболее ценных приобретений и мощнейшее оружие, которые можно получить в жизни. Оно развивает многие стороны человеческой личности и помогает нам глубже понять себя. Образование учит наш мозг думать, поэтому образованные люди в силах изменить наш мир и внести вклад в благополучие нашего общества.

Education in Russia

In our country we have got different types of education, for example: primary, secondary and higher education.

Children in Russia start school when they are six or seven years old. They go to a primary school until they are nine or ten. Then they go to a secondary school. They leave when they are sixteen or seventeen. When young people finish school they get school-leaving certificate. Next academic year young people can get a job or they can go to an institute or university. But same young men go to army.

In our country higher education is very expensive. But if you have got good mark for school state exams you can study free and even get scholarship. Higher education can be internal and correspondence formation. Special of kind education it is remote training. It is education when you can learn some subjects at home with the help of computer.

The higher education lasts on the average 5 years. At the finish young people have examinations and if they pass them successful they get diploma. When young people leave university, they can get a good job or go to another university and get secondary higher education.

I have passed three steps of education. I started my primary school when I was six and went to there until I was nine. Then I went to a secondary school and left it when I was sixteen. I had got good mark for school state exams and I went to internal university. Now I study free and even get scholarship. Now I finish the fifth year, soon I will leave university and get my diploma. Next academic year I want go to another second university. But it will be correspondence formation and I will can work and study.

In Russia we speak: "Training is light, and not training is darkness". I think it a true saying.

В нашей стране у нас есть несколько типов образования, к примеру: начальное, среднее и высшее образование.

Дети в России идут в школу, когда им шесть или семь лет. Они ходят в начальную школу, до девяти лет или десяти. Затем они идут в среднюю школу. Они покидают ее, когда им становится шестнадцать или семнадцать лет. Когда молодые люди оканчивают школу, они получают аттестат об окончании школы. В следующем учебном году молодые люди могут устроиться работу или могут поступить в институт или университет. Но некоторые молодые юноши идут в армию.

В нашей стране высшее образование стоит очень дорого. Но если Вы получили хорошие отметки на школьных государственных экзаменах (ЕГЭ), Вы можете учиться бесплатно и даже получать повышенную стипендию.

Высшее образование различается на очное (дневное) и заочное обучение. Особый вид обучения это - дистанционное обучение. Это - образование, когда Вы можете изучить некоторые предметы дома с помощью компьютера.

Высшее образование длится в среднем 5 лет. В конце обучения молодые люди имеют экзамены и если они их сдают успешно, они получают диплом. Когда они покидают университет, они могут устроиться на хорошую работу или продолжить учиться в другом университете и получить второе высшее образование.

Я лично прошла три шага образования. Я пошла в начальную школу, когда мне было шесть лет, и ходила туда, пока мне не исполнилось девять лет. Затем я пошла в среднюю школу и покинула её, когда мне было шестнадцать лет. Я получила хорошие отметки на школьных государственных экзаменах, и я поступила в университет. Сейчас я учусь бесплатно и даже получаю повышенную стипендию. В данный момент времени я оканчиваю пятый курс обучения, скоро я покину университет и получу мой диплом.

В следующем учебном году я хочу поступить в другой университет. Но это будет заочное обучение, и я смогу совмещать работу и учёбу.

В России мы говорим: "Ученье - свет, а неученье - тьма ". Я думаю это верная поговорка.
