Belarusian
and British Schools: Differences and Similarities

It
goes without saying
that education is very important in our life. It opens the doors into
adult successful life and children should understand this from their
childhood when they start primary school. I‘m
pretty sure that
practically every country in the world gives such an opportunity as
educational systems in many countries are arranged according to
common international educational standards, though there can be some
differences.

Great
Britain and Belarus are different countries that differ in their
languages, traditions and culture. But their educational systems have
much in common.
First of all,
in both countries there the same stages of school education –
Primary and Secondary schools. Though in Great Britain children start
Primary education at
5,
meanwhile
Belarusian pupils go to school at the age
of 7.
In Great Britain there are about 8%
of independent schools.
I
suppose,
in Britain quite a lot of parents can allow themselves to pay for
their children’s education in public school like Eton.
In our country this type of schools isn’t so popular, but as
I know
there are some private schools in Belarus as well.

As
far as
subjects in curriculum are
concerned,
here we have a lot of similarities as well as differences. For
instance, students of both countries study Maths, Physics, History,
and Chemistry. Of
course,
we study English in different ways, just because for us it’s a
foreign language, for them – their mother tongue. What
is more,
the Brits have such classes as Cooking
Technology,
Art,
Religion,
we don’t.

And
one
more point I’d like to cover
is a foreign language. Sure,
the British students study a variety of them, but the most popular
foreign language in the UK is French.
Pupils are also actively taught Spanish
and Italian.
In Belarus English is the main foreign language at school and it is
pretty understandable – it is a source of international
communication. By
the way,
German
and French
are also popular with language-students. So, as you can see British
and Belarusian school systems have both differences and similarities.

To
sum up I would like to say
that there is no perfect school in the world. I
am of an opinion
that Belarusian educational system is really good but as
for me
it would be great to add such subjects like Art or Religion into our
curriculum, as well as to have a long break for lunch like the Brits
have that lasts for an hour. So
I consider
if we borrowed the best inventions from the others, we could improve
our system of education.

The system of Education in Belarus.

Scientific and intellectual potential is the main strategic resource of Belarus. In 1989, according to the results of the census, 899 people per each thousand engaged in the national economy had higher and secondary education. Thus we can say that Belarus had a developed system of education. It embraced 11,000 educational establishments; 33 per cent of population attended different forms of classes.

Nowadays the number of students attending different educational establishments is nearly the same. The republic guarantees its citizens the right to universal secondary education and creates means for further professional education. It tries to preserve the democratic character of education, paying much attention to common human values, developing independent critical thinking instead of simple perception of information.

The republic has reformed its system of education with the aim of creating an independent, qualitatively new national school, corresponding to international standards and ensuring each citizen the right to the high-quality education according to his abilities and inclinations.

The reform envisaged a continuity of study at all stages, such as pre-school, secondary school, vocational training and specialized secondary school, and at the higher school level. It gives teachers and students freedom in the choice of educational forms and methods, while the results must correspond to the state educational standards.

Education in Belarus consists of some levels. The first level is known as kindergarten. Children at the age of 3 to 6 attend it. The second level is primary school and 6-10-year-olds go there. The following level is secondary school and if you are 10-15-year-olds you study at 5-9 forms. After secondary school you may enter high school or lyceum and college and study there for 2 years (15-17-year-olds).

After primary, secondary and high schools students take compulsory subjects. At first they sit 3 exams: Maths, the Russian and Belarusian Languages. At the end of the 9^th year of education they sit 4 exams: Maths, the Russian and Belarusian languages and History of Belarus. They get GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) and may go to lyceum or college or continue their education at high school. All the subjects at secondary school are compulsory. Leaving high school pupils sit 3 exams: 2 compulsory – Maths and one of the languages Russian or Belarusian, and one optional (since 2012 students will take 3 compulsory exams. They will have English as a compulsory exam.).

Besides comprehensive schools students can study at gymnasia. Entrance to gymnasia is based on the competitive exams. All the schools in Belarus are free of charge. They are mixed-sex schools although it is possible to find single-sex schools.

The school year in Belarus lasts from the 1^st of September to late May. It is divided into 4 terms. There are 4 standard holidays: autumn-a week; winter- 2 weeks; spring-a week; summer-3 months. Students study 5 days a week. Generally school day starts at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. and finishes at 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. students usually have 6 or 7 lessons a day. They study such subjects as Mathematics, Literatures – Russian and Belarusian, History, a foreign language, Geography, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, PE, Art, Music, Drama and others.

Graduating from high schools pupils usually enter universities and institutes. To enter these ones it is necessary to pass 3 centralized tests.

The main principles of the educational system in Belarus are the priority of human values, national culture as the basis of education, humanism, sense of ecological purpose, scientific basis, democracy, support of gifted children and others.

There have been changes in the organization of education itself. New types of educational establishments have appeared: gymnasia, lyceum, experimental school, college. There appeared non-state-owned schools of various kinds, private kindergartens, schools at home and commercial institutes.
