How is British Educational system after world war II?

Answer 1

There was good quality primary education (ages 5 to 12) free for all, then a notorious barrier called the "qualifying" examination at age 12. Lower scorers went to a "Junior Secondary" school for 3 years, and were expected to then take up a craft or trade apprenticeship, or unskilled employment. Higher scorers went to "Senior Secondary" for 5 years, then took a School Leaving examination. A sixth year was optional. Leavers could try for University, where there was 1 place available for approximately every 22 18-year-olds. Many professional careers which now start with a University degree were then started with a School Leaving Certificate as entry either to a professional apprenticeship, e.g. in accountancy, law, or architecture, or to a three-year diploma course at a technical college, e.g. in pharmacy, engineering, or business studies.

Independent secondary schools for the children of the affluent have been part of the British educational system for a couple of centuries. From 1945 to 1960, universities continued to give some unfair preference to them. They are still numerically over-represented among undergraduates, but only because they attract a substantial proportion of the ablest schoolchildren. By comparing like with like, the discrimination is now seen to be minimal.

From 1960 onwards there has been a huge increase in the number of universities, much of it by upgrading former technical colleges. Secondary schools are no longer senior and junior, but comprehensive. The minimum school leaving age is 16.

Compulsory education for all children up to the age of 15 years. A choice between free education at state schools or paying for education at private schools (confusingly always referred to as public schools).
