Task 5.
Answer the following questions in complete sentences.

1) Why do some people worry about students having to pay for university education in Britain?
Some people worry because paying for university education can place a heavy financial burden on students, leading to high levels of personal debt and potentially restricting access to higher education for those from lower income backgrounds.

2) Describe the difference between state schools and independent (private) schools in Britain.
State schools are funded and maintained by the government and are free to attend, whereas independent schools are fee‑paying institutions that often have smaller class sizes and may offer a more traditional or prestigious education.

3) How does the British education system support both academic and personal development?
The British education system supports academic development through a structured curriculum that includes core subjects like English, Mathematics, and Science, and it also encourages personal growth through foundation subjects and extra‑curricular activities that help students develop social, creative, and practical skills.

4) What are some ways children under 5 might receive early education in Britain?
Many children under 5 receive early education by attending nursery schools or pre‑school classes where they learn through play, simple games, and songs, which helps them develop social skills and basic cognitive abilities.

5) Why might some parents send their children to private schools even if they disagree with the idea of fee‑paying education?
Some parents might choose to send their children to private schools because they believe that the quality of education, smaller class sizes, better facilities, or a more challenging academic environment may better prepare their children for future success.

6) What subjects are considered core and which are foundation subjects in British schools?
Core subjects in British schools generally include English, Mathematics, and Science, while foundation subjects typically consist of areas such as technology, art, and geography that complement the core curriculum.

Schools often handle misbehaving students by implementing disciplinary measures such as detention or requiring them to stay behind after school, which are designed to help correct their behavior.

8) Describe one benefit of extra‑curricular activities in British schools.
One benefit of extra‑curricular activities is that they help develop students’ personalities and social skills, enabling them to explore interests outside the academic curriculum and build confidence and teamwork abilities.

9) What opportunities are available for adults who wish to continue their education in Britain?
Adults who wish to continue their education in Britain can attend institutions such as the Open University, which offers distance learning courses and evening classes that allow them to study alongside their work or personal commitments.

10) Why might the availability of pre‑school education differ from area to area in Britain?
The availability of pre‑school education can differ due to variations in local government funding, community needs, and regional priorities, which means that some areas may have more or better funded early education programs than others.
