Reading: The Role of Education in the 21st Century
Our world is changing, and in
order to prepare our children for this new world we need to change the way we
educate them. In the 21st century educators must create a curriculum that
will help students connect with the world and understand the issues that our
world faces. There are many skills that children will need in order to be
successful in the 21st century. Education has always been important to national life in England. Many
kings, queens and several governments tried to improve it. But the
present-day system of education was formed in the twentieth century.
INTRODUCTION
In modern times,
when science and technical knowledge are progressing so fast, governments of
countries living a complex modern life cannot but pay much attention to their
national education systems to keep leading positions in the world
ranks. English education is considered to be one of the best in
the world. It is not a secret that a lot of children and young people dream
of studying in England. Parents understanding that a modern person should be
well educated to be a success send their children to the best schools and
colleges of the United Kingdom.
And
what is it that makes it so popular all over the world? That is the question
which I will try to answer in this paper.
To clarify the subject I need to answer some fundamental questions such
as: What are the main steps in the history of English schools? What types of
schools are there and how do they meet the needs of pupils of different
abilities and encourage pupils to study seriously? For how long do English
children go to school and how their results in studying are measured?
I will show what the system of the 21st century is.
So, let us examine some of sources of information and try to answer
these and some other questions.
Today’s
England has a reputation for scientific research and education is extremely
important in this country.
British
children are required by law to have an education until they are 16 years
old.
Education is compulsory, but school is not, children are not required
to attend school. They could be educated at home.
Section 7 of the 1996 Education Act states:
"The parent
of every child of compulsory school age shall cause him to receive efficient
full-time education suitable-
(a)
to his age, ability and aptitude, and
(b) to any special educational needs he may have,
either
by regular attendance at school or otherwise."
Full-time education is compulsory for all children aged between 5 and
16 (inclusive) across England. This can be provided by state schools,
independent schools, or homeschooling.
About
94 per cent of pupils in England, and the rest of the UK, receive free
education from public funds, while 6 per cent attend independent fee paying
schools or homeschooling.
Education is an important part of British life.
There are hundreds of schools, colleges and universities, including some of
the most famous in the world.
Eton is for
boys aged 13 to 18 largely from aristocratic and upper-class families. It
provides exceptionally fine teaching facilities, for example in science,
languages, computing and design. There are two large libraries and a number
of well stocked subject libraries. Every student can choose his own academic
tutor to supervise his work.
Sing a song: “They are teaching”
What school is teaching.
1.To write words like Motherland
In a neat and knowing hand
School is teaching, school is teaching, school is teaching.
Add up figures with a run
Not to tease a younger one
School is teaching, school is teaching, school is teaching.
2.How to build a house for birds
And correctly spell the words
School is teaching, school is teaching, school is teaching.
To be kind and care the books,
Mind our way and mind our looks
School is teaching, school is teaching, school is teaching.
3.To explain the grammar rules,
Watch the raindrops hit the pools
School is teaching, school is teaching, school is teaching.
To obey as well as lead
And to be a friend in need
School is teaching, school is teaching, school is teaching
