英國的公立學(xué)校與私立學(xué)校

For many parents， one of the most important things is to ensure their children have good education.

Britains education system is well known around the world. Thousands of students come from overseas to be educated in the UK in many different places including private schools， tutorial colleges， and international schools.

Private schools like Harrow and Eton are expensive to get into. They are different from state schools.

There are two differences between a private school and a state school. The most important one is that parents have to pay fees to go to a private school. Whereas a state school is free of charge.

But the other difference is that private schools in this country are not obliged to follow the national state governed curriculum， or even to take the state examinations. So they have a much greater degree of freedom.

The pupils at private schools are treated just like pupils in every other school including the state schools in England. They are not pampered; very far from it， they are expected to behave well， to work hard; they are punished if they dont.

對許多家長而言，最重要的事情之一是確保他們的孩子受到良好的教育。

英國教育體系的知名度是眾所周知的。每年數(shù)千名來自海外的學(xué)子在英國不同的地方接受教育，包括私立學(xué)校、輔導(dǎo)學(xué)院和國際學(xué)校。

像哈羅和伊頓這樣的私立學(xué)校需要支付昂貴的學(xué)費才能進入，而且這兩所私立學(xué)校與公立學(xué)校不同。

英國的公立學(xué)校和私立學(xué)校有兩個不同點。首先，父母必須為孩子支付學(xué)費才能進入私立學(xué)校，而公立學(xué)校是免費的。

另一個不同是，私立學(xué)校沒有義務(wù)遵循國家規(guī)定的教學(xué)課程，甚至不采用國家考試，因此，學(xué)校有更大的自由度。

英國私立學(xué)校的學(xué)生跟公立學(xué)校的學(xué)生都受到同等對待。他們不會享受任何寵愛，甚至人們期望他們表現(xiàn)得更好，更加努力。如果沒有達到要求，他們會受到懲罰。

PS：美式英語中“public school”就是所謂的“公立學(xué)?！保^大部分經(jīng)費由政府補助。私立學(xué)校稱為“private school”。
