education system in the UK and in your country

Education is  essential   in our life not even In the 21^st century  where everyone takes it as a priority, education as its different ways of operating all over the world, having experience living in two countries, which is the united kingdom and Nigeria where I come from. After comparing the two ways of education, having a strong believe for education, and coming to a conclusion that there is a far different in the educational standard in Nigeria and the united kingdom.

    United kingdom education  is a devolved matter,  with each of the countries of the UK having  separate system under separate government . The United Kingdom is responsible for England, and the Scottish government, the welsh government and the Northern Ireland are responsible for Scotland. In the uk there are different types of educational systems, such as the independent school, public, primary school, secondary school, tertiary school, boarding school, prep school compulsory school, grammar school, secondary modern school, etc.  full time education is compulsory for all children age between 5 and 16 with the range of 96 per cent of student in England, wales , Scotland and  the rest of Britain  gets to go to school free of charge this money are from the public funds while with calculation 6 per cent   go to independent schools furthermore it’s been known that united kingdom  give their student loan to  go to the uni and have to get to pay  after they get a job . This can’t be find in Nigeria.

  In Nigeria, education  is been handled by the ministry of education, the formal 6-3-3-4 is been used for schooling system, six years in the primary school, three years in the junior secondary school, three years in the senior secondary school , then 4 years in the university. Has the year runs by education in Nigeria reproves but not up to the standard of the uk, in Nigeria free education is only for  the student going to the public schools, in which this schools are being seen as an eye saw, student get to sit mostly on the floor due to lack of  chairs. Nigeria is a country said to flow with milk and honey, as much as it has its milk, there is high rate of poverty, where education is not really compulsory as there are substitute where kids can go learn handwork such as, mechanics, tailor etc., in Nigeria there are enough private schools for student to go into.

   As much as the united kingdom  is more developed  than Nigeria,  the u k believe more education than the Nigerians there is now, if  you are not given a scholarship, or parent are of average status the is no loaning of anyone money to go through school. In Nigeria University the normal program of the school is four year due to the strikes called asuu strikes student get to spend 2 to 4 more years in the university, apart from private universities, which in the UK is not done.

In conclusion as the years run by its clear the United Kingdom as more edge in educational system than Nigeria my country due to lack development.

Britain and the four nation

A study of the history and culture of Great Britain is one of interest and intrigue. This interest arises from the fact that there exists a mutual agreement among the nations of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland to coexist under the same government therefore giving all of the countries, common political, economic, security and social goals notwithstanding the differences in languages, culture, and geographical locations. This union is highly commendable as it has been able to weather numerous storms and sustain the unity, rising as high as to colonize numerous countries in the world. Indeed, very few multi-ethnic nations can be this integrated.

Although the name Great Britain is used for the island of England, Wales and Scotland, many people in the world including myself still think of the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Island as Great Britain. After all, the greatness of this nation is not in the island called Britain; it is rather in the strength of the unity of these nations. Even though Great Britain is actually a small nation considering that its size is roughly “twice the size of New York”, it is still the third most populous island in the world with a population of well over 60 million people.

The people of Great Britain are quite polite, warm, and welcoming to all kinds of people. This can be underscored by the low incidence of racism in the country compared to some other ones in Europe.

Britain is highly developed economically. This explains why so many people from around the world long to visit and probably settle down permanently in the country. Its preeminence in the arts and sciences and technological sophistication also makes her a high target for international students to get proper education. This makes her even more highly prosperous and relatively peaceful. Generally, residents of Britain belong to one of the most affluent people in the countries of Europe and enjoy a high standard of living as well compared to the rest of the world.

Britain, which is also known as the United Kingdom, it’s a state in Europe that rules with sovereignty. The kingdom of the Great Britain has been a sovereign state from the year 1707 t0 1801 and in-between 1922 and 1977 in it’s superseded.  Which as its capital as London, the Great Britain has the largest island in the British Isles and also the largest island in Europe and also located off the north western coast of continental.

E.g.  Scotland playing with England.

         The Northern Ireland spends the British pounds, even at a point the Ireland wanted the Northern Ireland but later dropped their claims of ownership. However there are numbers of reason why the Northern Ireland and Ireland are not one the divide came in 1921. The Ireland and northern Ireland are on the same island and even border themselves. The northern Ireland are quite posh in there dressings.

  The Scotland ancient language is Gaelic, and king  James vi  became the king James 1 of England that was what brought about the union of  the Scottish and England .
