The education system of Great Britain has been formed over the centuries and is currently based on high quality standards. In Great Britain, education is compulsory for citizens aged 5-16.
There are two sectors of education: public (free education) and private (paying educational institutions, private schools). In Great Britain, there are two educational systems that work in parallel without any obstacles. one in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the second in Scotland. According to UNESCO and OECD, in 2012 the number of students in the country was 3.5 million, of which 427 thousand are citizens of other countries[1]. Moreover, around 27 thousand Englishmen study abroad. There is not a great variety of schools in the UK. Different sources, the Internet, magazines and newspapers use different criteria for classifying schools. The most common type is the boarding school, where students live at the school in addition to studying. The first boarding schools appeared in Britain in the early Middle Ages, mostly next to monasteries. In the 12th century, the Pope forced the reopening of all Benedictine monasteries and turned them into schools attached to Catholic monasteries.
