British education

British education aims us to develop fully the abilities of individuals, For their own benefit and of society as a whole. Post school education is organized flexibly, to provide a wide range of opportunities for academic and vocational education and to continue studying throughout life.

Administration of state schools is decentralized. The department of education and science is responsible for national education policy, but it doesn’t run any schools, it doesn't employ teachers, or prescribe curricula or textbooks. All schools are given a considerable amount of freedom. According to the law only one subject is compulsory. That is religious instruction.
