the british press. the british press consists of several kinds of newspapers. the national papers are the ones sold all over the country, with a large circulation, giving general news. there are two main types of national paper - the "popular" papers and the "quality" papers. the popular papers are smaller in size (they are tabloid size), with lots of pictures, big headlines and short articles. they are easy to read and often contain little real information. they give much space to opinions. they usually have "human interest" stories - stories about ordinary people and events. examples of this type of newspapers are "the daily mail". "the sun", etc. "quality" papers appeal to the more serious reader, who wants to read about politics and foreign affairs. these papers such as "the daily telegraph", "the guardian" are bigger in size (they are called "broad-sheets"), with longer articles and a wider coverage of events. they have different pages for home news, foreign affairs, features articles, fashion, business, sport and so on. people in britain buy more papers on sunday than on weekdays. the sunday papers have a higher circulation than the dailies. as with the dailies, there are both popular and quality sunday newspapers. the quality ones have different sections and a colour magazine (usually full of advertisements)

education in great britain: schools

in britain it is compulsory for everyone between the ages of 5 and 16 years to receive some officially recognized form of schooling, though most secondary schools continue to provide education until the age of 18.

the vast majority of pupils attend state schools, which are absolutely free (including all text books and exercise books), but there are also about 500 private schools providing secondary education. the most famous of these schools are eton and harrow.

there is no statutory age at which students change from primary to secondary school, nor are schools "specialized" — pupils choose from the numerous subjects taught in their particular school.

the recently introduced national curriculum has made it compulsory, however, for three core subjects — english, mathematics, and science — and seven other foundation subjects — technology (including design), history, geography, music, art, physical education, and a modern foreign language — to be included in the curricula of all pupils.

passage from one academic year to the next is automatic. after a two-year course, usually from 14 to 16 years of age, most pupils take their general certificate of secondary education (gcse), assessed on the basis of a mixture of course work and a written examination, in individual subjects.

pupils obtaining at least five passes at gcse can then specialize for two years (usually from16 to 18 years of age) in two or three subjects, in which they take the general certificate of education advanced level (a-level) examination. this is used as an entrance qualification for university (minimum two passes) and other types of higher education, as well as for many forms of professional training.
