Pre-Primary education : Pre-Primary Education is compulsory for all children between 4 8/12 – 5 8/12 years old

Primary Education : Primary education is compulsory for all children over the age of 5 8/12 and has a duration of 6 years.

Secondary Education : Secondary General Education offers two three-year cycles of education – (lower secondary education) and (upper secondary education) – to pupils between the ages of 12 and 18.

Primary Education :

Primary education begins in the UK at age 5 and continues until age 11, comprising key stages one and two under the UK educational system.

Secondary Education :

From age 11 to 16, students will enter secondary school for key stages three and four and to start their move towards taking the GCSE's and after age 16, education is optional.

Further Education :

Once a student finishes secondary education they have the option to extend into further education to take their A-Levels, GNVQ's, BTEC's or other such qualifications. UK students planning to go to college or university must complete further education.

Higher Education :

Probably the most important subject area on this site, this explains more about the higher education system in the UK and how it works for international students. Most international students will enter directly into the UK higher education system, after completing their home country’s equivalent to the UK’s “further education.”
