Schools for rich people D. Living and studying

The history of public schools F. Schools in Great Britain
The school system in the UK may seem rather confusing for people from other countries. There are two types of schools in the UK. Most of schools are state schools where education is free. But there are also private schools where you have to pay. Such schools are often very expensive. It may seem strange, but private schools in Britain are called public.
A long time ago when education was a privilege of the rich, the only schools where poor people could go got the money from charity organizations. As it was public money, the schools for the poor were called public schools. Some of these public schools were very successful and later they became expensive private schools for rich people. But the conservative British continued to call them public schools.
Harrow School was founded in 1572 as a public school for the children of poor families in the country. It is known as the most prestigious private schools in the country. It is known as the place where Winston Churchill and six other
Prime Ministers of GB were educated. The poet Lord Byron also attended this school.
Harrow is an all-boys school with 800 pupils. It has 19 boarding houses. A boarding house is a building where pupils sleep and rest. Each boy has a separate bedroom or shares a room with another boy. The teachers also have their own rooms to stay in the school all the time and make sure that pupils get a lot of evening and weekend activities.
The first thing you need to have is money as studying at some public schools costs up to 20,000 pounds a year. There are some grants for bright pupils from poor families but the p0laces are few and the competition is very strong. It’s not surprising that only six percent of the people in the UK can study at public schools.
