Education (England)

Education in England is a structured system that provides learning opportunities from early childhood through adulthood. It includes primary education (ages 4-11), secondary education (ages 11-16), and further education such as colleges and vocational training. The government sets national standards, curriculum content, and assessment methods. Schools can be state-funded or private, and the system aims to develop knowledge, skills, and personal growth. Education is compulsory until age 18, ensuring young people are prepared for higher education, employment, or training. The system also supports lifelong learning through adult education programs.
