Education in the United Kingdom is a
devolved matter, and there are separate education systems in
England,
Northern Ireland,
Scotland and
Wales.Education (although not necessarily in the form of school attendance) is compulsory for all children between the ages of 5-16, though the
UK Government announced in January 2007 plans to change this to 5 - 18 in
England. Most English, Welsh and Northern Irish state (but not independent) schools usher students through nursery school, one of two primary school tracks, and one of two secondary tracks, of which
sixth form is optional. Most children and young people in the UK are educated in
state funded schools financed through the tax system and so parents do not pay directly for the cost of education.
