I don't know the structure of the education system in Scotland but I understand that students often go to university at 17 (rather than 18 in the rest of Britain) but Scottish university students have to study for at least 4 years.

In regards to the general philosophy of both countries, I would say that England has embraced the 'progressive' ideas popular in the 1960s more. The Labour education minister Anthony Crosland famously vowed to get rid of every (expletive) grammar school. (Oxbridge educated people should be able to make their points without swearing) I went to an ex-grammar school in England (now a comprehensive)- thankfully, it still respected tradition whilst having impressive modern additions too.

It has become something of a cliche that the British are bad at mathematics and spelling and a quick check in any chatroom seems to support the theory that a fair proportion of the English seem strangely proud to be casually foul mouthed, without the advantage of wit that might give this some limited charm.
The Scottish seem a more religious, family-oriented country in general- they just seem warmer people overall. This can only be helpful when trying to provide the right environment to bring up children. Look at much of industrial England by contrast and parts are like wastelands- there is poverty of ambition.

I think that much of Scotland, including its old cities, retain an immediate link with the past and an appreciation of the old discplines such as classics and philosophy. This may be just a general impression but the Scottish do seem more comfortable with education for education's sake (rather than just for the aim of money).

@ Sureil - GERS comments needless to say state Scotland pays extra desirable than it gets lower back. workplace of national information (ONS) trust this, because your a economic and comparatively cheap professional possibly you will care to describe why the united kingdom governments figures are incorrect and your assertion is right? @ me lower back - do you hear to the controversy or in basic terms ignore approximately each and every thing that gets reported, or is it a case of the British media no longer reporting properly? "would Scotland have a president besides as PM?" i somewhat do no longer understand why you're asking this except that's to antagonize. At no time has the SNP or human beings of Scotland reported they like to grow to be a republic and go away the Commonwealth. So how precisely would there be a president? "The SNP choose to maintain making use of British funds yet connect the ecu. What occurs if the united kingdom then leaves the ecu?" properly apparently Scotland wont be without delay known into the ecu, so rUK would desire to be interior the ecu and Scotland does not. Why would it not rely if one became into interior the ecu or no longer? "(while the Balkan states chop up up each and each had its very own forex. For some reason the SNP do no longer choose this.)" What forex did eire use while it left the united kingdom? lower back why do unionist act as though its no longer surpassed off previously? that's no longer something new or dreamed up. Its fairly surpassed off previously so why no longer lower back? it became into advantageous then for the two social gathering's why no longer lower back? needless to say the questions you're asking have been spoke back and characteristic been positioned into prepare, why do Scottish media report this yet British (Westminster) media refuse to report it. Why are they hiding the certainty? i'm nevertheless waiting on one British information paper to report an european judges comments on what the president of the ecu cost reported on the BBC? why are not they reporting this? through fact it does not flow with their time table? London would lose mass quantities of sales from Scotland and that's what their scared off, there is been communicate of them loosing seats on some councils, the folk of britain would desire to benefit yet London occupation politicians does not

The Education system in Northern Ireland has proven in successive years that it is the best, in the UK, by churning out the highest exam results. However, the English Education person who is in charge at the moment wants to get rid of Grammar schools and replace them with Comprehensives. This is baffling when in England the Comprehensive system is being quietly phased out due to its excessive failure!!!!!!!!!!

I'm all for making fun of people who can't spell, but adding a t in "much" could just be a typo.

Aren't there a lot of inner-city schools in England with parents who are more interested in doing drugs than raising their children? I realize this is a huge generalization, and I don't mean to offend. I've heard this though. Couldn't that have something to do with it all?
