By law, all children in England and Wales between ages 5

and 16 must receive an education. In Northern Ireland children

go to school at the age of 4. For children under the age of 5,

there are nursery schools with a small number of hours each

week. In the United Kingdom the education is compulsory, but

school is not, children are not required to attend school. They

could be educated at home. More than 90% of pupils in the UK

attend state schools.

• In England and Wales there are thirty thousand schools and

more than eight million (8,000,000) children attend one of

them.

• In Scotland more than eight thousand children (8,000) attend

about five thousand (5,000) schools, including pre-schools

and other special education schools.

• Northern Ireland sends three hundred and fifty (350,000)

children to one thousand three hundred (1,300) state schools.

Boys and girls study together at primary schools. Secondary

schools may be only for boys and only for girls, or they may be

for both girls and boys.
