Description[?]:
| The educational system will be defined as follows: Pre-school/Nursery. (Ages 0-5). Pre-schools are not mandatory, but attendence is recommended by Government. Although Pre-schools/Nurseries are set-up to allow for children to join at ages 16wks+ to allow parents, should they wish, to return to work as soon as they can, it is recommended by Government that children not start before age 3 or 4 in order to allow strong bonds to be created between parents and children. Older children (ages 3 and 4) enrolled at Pre-schools/Nurseries are introduced to the basics of language and interpersonal skills in order to help them prepare for later stages of education as well as how to react and play within groups. Primary School. Primary School is the overall banner for pre-secondary education, containing both Infant and Junior schools. Infant School. Years 1-2 (Ages 5-7) Infant schools are the start of mandatory education, within both the public and the private sectors. Infant schools function as the medium for young children and introduces them to a full time educational environment. Infant schools introduce, for the first time within a childs educational remit, the National Curriculum (full description to be included in a later Article). Junior School. Years 3-6 (Ages 7-11) Junior Schools provide children with the beginnings of in-depth knowledge within subjects contained within the National Curriculum, as well as providing and improving upon, core knowledge already gained at earlier levels of education. Secondary School, Lower. Years 7-9 (Ages 11-14) Secondary Schools provide children with in-depth knowledge within a range of subject matters, as well as continuing to improve upon already gained core knowledge. Educational techniques become more rigorous as pupils are expected to reach higher levels of competence. The first three years of Secondary school allows children to try new subjects, as well as a range of non-scholastic disciplines to become part of within the educational environment. Secondary School, Higher. Years 10-11 (Ages 14-16). Pupils begin their final stage of Secondary education. Except for the core subjects of this level of National Curriculum (described in detail in later Article), pupils are allowed to choose from a group of elective subjects in order to further their educational aspirations into areas of interest. Upper Secondary Education. Years 12-13 (Years 16-18). Students are allowed to select their own educational areas from differing types of subjects including, but not limited to, Scholastic, Vocational and Apprenticeship training. Scholastic courses allow the students to choose from a wide variety of courses, including subjects that may not have been included in the core of the National Curriculum, and allows them a more rigorous study period in order to help prepare themselves for Higher education. Vocational Studies are available to students who wish to try and learn about specific industries, and include not only the scholastic area of learning, teaching students in great detail about all levels of said industries, but also hands on time working for industry. Apprenticship training allows students to begin training within Industries, in a similar way to vocational students. However, apprenticeship courses have a lesser input from the scholastic side, concentrating much more in the "hands-on" approach to said industries. Higher Education. (Ages 18+) A completely voluntary educational sector, allowing students to choose from a wide range of subject matter to increase their knowledge, preparing students to move into many sectors of the job market. |
