Education in Wales

Education in Wales

Wales is one of the four main administrative and political parts of Great Britain, formerly a conglomerate of independent Celtic kingdoms. The education system in Wales is broadly similar to that in England and Northern Ireland. It should be noted that in the UK there are two education systems that easily get along together: one in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the second — in Scotland.

Wales is one of the four main administrative and political parts of Great Britain, formerly

a conglomerate of independent Celtic kingdoms.

The education system in Wales is broadly similar to that in England and Northern Ireland.

It should be noted that in the UK there are two education systems that easily get along together: one in England,

Wales and Northern Ireland,

the second —

in Scotland.

Education in Wales, as well as in the UK, is compulsory for all citizens between the ages of 5 and 16. There are two sectors of education: public (free education) and private (paid educational institutions). In general, the education system in Wales is characterized by the following features: flexibility, attention to the individual development of students,  large variety of programs, attention to the needs of business and the manufacturing sector, strengthening the role of the Welsh language in education,  improving the system of reporting of educational institutions to parents, students, employers and taxpayers. The schools are taught in both English and Welsh. The language of instruction is chosen by parents or children. If you choose to study in English, Welsh is taught as a second foreign language.

The level of educational institutions  All public educational institutions are governed by a governing board that includes representatives of various stakeholders. Most schools in Wales, as well as in England, are established and funded by local education authorities. Some schools are established by charitable organizations (mainly churches) and may be partially funded and controlled by them. However, the main responsibility for the activities of these schools lies with the local education authorities. Institutions of further and higher education are completely autonomous. Higher education institutions are independent, self-governing organizations that have the right to develop their own courses and award degrees.

Preschool education is provided to children aged 0 to 5 years in kindergartens and preparatory groups. For children aged 0 to 3 years – pre-school education is paid and it is usually carried out in private educational institutions. Although compulsory education is provided from the age of 5, many children attend pre-school educational institutions. For children aged 3 to 5 years, according to the Education Act of 2006, pre - school education is free, it can be obtained in kindergartens or in special groups in public primary schools. There is also a system of paid pre-school education in private educational institutions. The Department of Education in Wales has developed the following documents: Foundation Phase Child Development Profile Guidance (a guide to the development program for children studying at the basic stage) and Framework for Children's Learning for 3 to 7-year-olds in Wales (The Concept of teaching children aged 3-7 years in Wales), which provide recommendations for teaching children at this stage of education.
