The universities in Britain

       There are more than forty universities in Britain. By 1970 about 10% of men aged eighteen to twenty-one were in universities – and about 4% women.

       All British universities are private institutions. Each has its own gevorning council. The state began to give grants to them fifty years ago. Students have to pay fees and living costs. Most students take jobs in the summer for about six weeks.

       Each university has its own syllabuses, and there are some quite important differences between one and another. In general the Bachelor’s degree is given to students who pass examinations at the end of three or four years of study, Bachelor of Arts for history, philosophy, languageand literature, or Bachelor of Science or Commerce or Musoc. The classifications are not the same in all same in all universities, and students do naot normally move from one university to the another during their studies. Bachelors’ degrees are at two levels, Honours and Pass. In some cases the Honours degree¹ is given for intensive study and examinations in one, two or perhaps three related subjects, while the Pass (or “General”) degree² may be somewhat broader. In other cases there is no differernce betwenn Honours and Pass courses, and the Honours degree is given to the students who are more successful in their examinations.

       England had no other universities, apart from Oxford and Cambridge, until the nineteenth century. During the nineteenth century, institutions of higher education were founded in most of the biggest industrial towns. For a long time they could not give degrees themselves, but prepared students for the London University examinations. All of them have now achieved independent status, some only since 1945.

       The educational system in Britain

       There are more than forty universities in Britain but the names of the most famous institutions are Eton, Oxford and Cambridge; peopledo not always realisewhat place these institutions occupy in the whole educational system. Oxford and Cambridge are universities each having about 10000 students. Eton is a public school, and the best know of the public schools, which, in soite of their name, are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the whole system of secondary education; only about one out forty English boys goes to a public school, and one cent of 1500 goes to Eton. Apart from public school there is a complete system of state primary and secondary education. All children must, by law, receive fuul-time education between the ages of five and fifteen. Any child may attend, without paying fees, a school, and the great majority attend such schools. They may continue, still without paying fees, until they are eighteen. Children, who continue at school until they are sixteen can take the examinations for General Certificate of Education at Ordinary Level. This may be taken in any number of subjects. Many, after gaining this certificate, leave school to start training for various careers. Those who stay at school after passing their examinations prepare themselves for an attempt to win a certificate at advance level usually in only three or four subjects. During the last years at school the pupils are almost obliged to specialize in narrow fields.

       The academie year begins after summer holidays and is divided into three “terms”.

       Day-schools mostly work Mondays to Fridays only, from about 9 a.m. to between 3 and 4 p.m.
