education system in the UK and in your country


Education is  essential   in our life not even In the 21st 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.
