Education in England
Education in England is overseen by the United Kingdom's Department for
Education and Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. Local government
authorities are responsible for implementing policy for public education and statefunded schools at a local level.
The education system is divided into stages based upon age: Early Years
Foundation Stage (ages 35), primary education (ages 511), secondary
education (ages 1118) and tertiary education (ages 18+).
From the age of 16 there is a two-year period of education known as "sixth form" or
"college" which typically leads to A-level qualifications (similar to a high school
diploma in some other countries), or a number of alternative qualifications such
as BTEC, the International Baccalaureate or the Cambridge Pre-U.
England also has a tradition of independent schooling and Home schooling; legally,
parents may choose to educate their children by any suitable means.
Higher education often begins with a three-year bachelor's degree. Postgraduate
degrees include master's degrees, either taught or by research, and thedoctorate,
a research degree that usually takes at least three years. Universities require
a Royal Charter in order to issue degrees and all but one are financed by the state
via tuition fees, which cost up to 9,000 per academic year for English, Welsh
and European Union students.
