1. Introduction of the British education system

Britain is a country with a long tradition of education. After several centuries of evolution, its education system is quite perfect and complex, and it is of great flexibility. Overall, the education system of Britain can be divided into three stages: Compulsory Education, Further Education and Higher Education.

 

 

Speaking of the education in the UK, perhaps the following sentence can be very vividly reflects its educational philosophy: British education is not intended to teach students to become computers or calculators as accurate calculation tools, but to teach them how to use computers and calculators to survive for other work. In the UK, the focus of education is not to impart knowledge rigidly, but surviving for the living people. Namely, developing people who can think and work independently; cultivating student’s personality; cultivating people with specialized knowledge and practical skills. All of these are the starting point and measure standards of the school system and teaching activities. Under this education system, educators believe that if a man mastered the foundation of his discipline, and learned how to think and work independently, he will surely be able to find their own way. What’s more, compared with those who only received the details of the knowledge, they will be adapted to change and make progress better. Thus, in the classroom of the United Kingdom, the questions that teachers asked are more likely some open questions. They encourage students to give different answers.  For British teachers, the meaning of the thought process is more valuable than the outcome of thinking.说到英国的教育，也许下面的句子可以很生动地反映了其教育理念：英国教育的目的不是教学生成为计算机或计算器为准确计算工具，而是教他们如何使用计算机和计算器生存的其他工作。在英国，教育的重点不是传授知识，严格，但还活着的人。即，人可以发展独立思考和独立工作；培养学生的人格；培养具有专业知识和实践技能的人。这些都是本文研究的出发点和衡量标准的学校系统和教学活动。这种教育体制下，教育工作者认为，如果一个人掌握了自己的学科基础，并学会如何独立思考和独立工作，他一定能找到自己的方式。更重要的是，与那些只接受知识的细节相比，他们会适应变化和进步，更好的。因此，在英国的课堂，教师问更可能是一些开放的问题。他们鼓励学生给出不同的答案。英国教师，思想过程的意义是不是思维的结果更有价值。#p#分页标题#e#

 

 

2. Analysis on British education system

In my opinion, the British education system is relatively perfect. Its educational purpose is clear, and is able to cultivate more and better talents for the development and progress of the society. First, the British education can keep up with time. British universities don’t have uniform textbooks, so the instructors will usually list a recommendation of books for students to choose. Instructors always tried to choose content of the latest, most promising to teach. Secondly, the career-oriented is very strong. British universities are fully aware that the purpose of higher education is mainly for students’ employment, so their course to be studied will firmly grasp the needs of the job market. Almost no one course is useless. If the employment rate was low, this would demonstrate that there were some problems in this school. Thirdly, the students they trained usually have better hands-on ability. Exams in the UK universities are not too much, but there are a lot of curriculum designs and on-site speaking, these are the best exercise for each student to gain abilities and thinking skills. There are many specialized agencies and organizations for students to participate in various internships. So after graduation, students will be able to immediately get employment. Finally, the major settings are associated with students' personal interests in the schools, thus ensuring that each student can play to his strength.

 

 

3. A comparison with Chinese education system

The objectives of China's educational including: Education must serve the constriction of socialist modernization, serve the people, and must be combined with productive labor and social practice. Thus cultivate socialistic builders and successors of all-round development of moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor.

 

 

The differences of education between China and the United Kingdom can be seen through comparing the differences of the students between the two countries. In the aspect of independent study, the British students are more independent than Chinese students. British students are able to go to the library to find the information they need to complete a relatively formal Project. British student's have higher ability to live independently than Chinese students. In Britain, students who do not share the housework are rare; they were trained to help parents rub cars, cut lawns when they were child. British students have stronger sense of teamwork. British school has always attached great importance to the 'teamwork' education of students, in public places or group activities, individuals must obey the group. British student's physical fitness is better. Sport is not simply an important curriculum in the British secondary school, what’s more, every day at four o’clock, most of the students would appeared in the sports area to do exercise. The inquiring spirit of English students is very strong. When doing something, they are very open, bold vision and courage, don’t fettered by rules and regulations. They not only have their own opinion about questions, but also pay emphasis on scientific proof. They are keen to explore to find the answer.#p#分页标题#e#

 

 

4. Conclusion

Through comparing with Chinese education system, the differences are very apparent. China has much to be improved in the aspect of education. Here, the British education system has given an good example for China to follow.
