This video is about the education system in the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom has a highly centralized education system, divided into four main levels: primary, secondary, further and higher education.

Primary education begins at the age of five and lasts for seven years. All children must attend primary school, which is free. The majority of primary schools are controlled by local authorities, although there are also a number of academies and free schools.

Secondary education lasts five years, starting at age eleven. Again, all children must attend secondary school, which is also free. Secondary schools can be academies, free schools, grammar schools or comprehensive schools.

Higher education generally refers to colleges and sixth forms, which offer a range of academic and vocational qualifications. Further education is not compulsory, but many young people choose to attend college or sixth form after completing their GCSEs.

Higher education generally refers to universities, which offer a range of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
