Schoul systém in Czech Republic
Educational system in Czech Republic has for stages:
1. pre-school education
2. primary school
3. secondary school
4. tertiary education.
Now I tell you something more about these stages.
Pre-school education is for children from two to six years. It is provided by nursery schools and kindergartens. I think most of children attend crèches and kindergartens before their compulsory attendance at primary school.
Attendance from six to fifteen at primary school is compulsory. Most pupils attend state schools where education is free of charge. There are also private and church schools in Czech Republic but at these types of schools you must pay for your attendance. Children in our school system needn’t wear uniforms.
After finishing primary school students can find a job and start working but most of them choose some secondary school and continue in their school attendance. I our country there are three types of secondary schools:
grammar school
special school
vocational school. Secondary education lasts three or four years it depends on the type of school and it is finished with school leaving examination. This examination is held from four subjects at grammar and special schools. Two from them are compulsory it is Czech and one foreign language. The others two are elective. The exam is consists of written and oral tests. If you pass the both tests you get School-Leaving Certificate.
The last form of education is provided by universities and colleges. It lasts four or six years it depends on type of school. Each secondary graduate can apply as many colleges as he wants but he musts pass an entrance tests if he wants start with studies. The oldest university in our country is Charles university in Prague which was founded by Charles the fourth in 1348. Others universities are for example in Brno, Olomouc, Ostrava, Zlín and České Budějovice.
School year starts on the first of September and it is divided into two terms. The first term starts in September and it finishes in the end of January. The second term is from beginning of February and it ends on the last day of June. In the end of each term students get their School report. After the second term pupils and students have holidays which are two months long.
Classes begin between eight and eight fifteen. School day is different at different types of schools but one thing must be same - one lesson lasts forty-five minutes. Breaks between the lessons are ten or twenty minutes long.
Pupils and students are evaluated by marks from one to five. Mark one is the best and mark five is the worst.
Now I attend grammar school in Havlíčkův Brod which is named after a famous Czech writer KAREL BOROVSKÝ who was living in Havlíčkův Brod. School was founded by Kateřina Barbora Kobzinová in 1734. School is situated nearly the centre of the town. A building of a school has a cellar, ground floor, the others two floors and an attic. In the cellar there are two gyms. In the attic you can find atelier for arts and a classroom for singing.
My classroom is situated on the first floor. It is equipped with sixteen desks and thirty-one chairs for students, one cathedra an a chair for our teachers, a blackboard, a small board, two cupboards, a basin, a mirror and so on.
At our school there are some special classrooms for example a classroom for computer and language lessons, laboratory of chemistry and physique.
I like my school but now I am looking forward to university where I would like to continue in my studies.
British system of education
If I compare our system of education and the British one I like more the Czech one.
In Britain children start primary school at the age of five. At eleven they go to secondary school and attend it to the age of sixteen. School attendance is compolsory from five to sixteen. At sixteen pupils take GCSE which means General Certificate of Secondary Education. After these exams about thirty percents of students leave school, the others study three subjects for two others years. After this two years they take
“A” Levels. About twenty percents of eighteen-years-old go to university.
Classes starts at nine o’clock and finishes at about four o’clock. After morning lessons students have a break of an hour for lunch.
At most of secondary schools students must wear uniforms.
British schools are usually states it means they are free of charge.
American system of education
American system of education is very similar to British one. There are only small differents for example in USA compulsory school attendance is from six to seventeen.
