comprehensive schools

Comprehensive schools are publicly funded secondary schools that provide a broad and inclusive education to all students, regardless of their academic ability or background. In contrast to selective schools, which admit students based on examinations, comprehensive schools aim to accommodate a diverse range of learners in the same environment. They offer a wide curriculum, including academic and vocational courses, allowing students to develop various skills and interests. This system promotes equality and social cohesion by ensuring that all children have access to quality education and opportunities for personal growth and development.
