　　In England, many children go to nursery school from the age of about three, but these schools are not compulsory. Compulsory education begins at the age of five, when children go to primary school. Primary education takes six years, then pupils go to secondary school. After six years of secondary education, pupils take the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) examination. Most pupils take about eight subjects in this exam.

　　Compulsory education ends at sixteen. Some people choose to stay at secondary school for further two years and then take three or four subjects in this exam. Other people leave school at sixteen and go to college for further education.

　　Education in England has had many changes in the last ten years. Another new change took place in September 2000, in 6^th forms where students will have to study four or five subjects at S-level for their first year and then choose 3 in their second year to study at A-level (S-level is not as difficult as A-level).
