ALL education in England is divided into two sectors: public and private. The same applies to schools. Public schools in the UK are subsidized by the government, and their control is via the local education authorities. Study in which only British citizens and foreign children are accepted in public schools only at the last stage of training, after 16 years (ie, the fourth stage - Further education and tertiary education), and only with the excellent results of prior learning and entrance exams in school. Private schools in England, most of which is a boarding school, which is only 10% of the total number of schools - they are a little more than three thousand. They exist only on the funds received from the parents, as payment for the child's education. Each school defines itself as the cost of training, and a list of what it includes and why it depends on (mostly - it is the age of the child, that is, the older the more expensive). On average, one semester in good ranking private school in England, costing parents from 6,000 to 12,000 pounds. However, due to traditionally high level of training and more attentive to the abilities of pupils every year about 30% of the seats in the most prestigious universities in the UK are graduates of private schools. The advantage of boarding school is the fact that the child is always under the supervision of teachers and educators, and has an almost non-stop access to libraries, laboratories, a music room, gym.
