Difference between education system in th Uk and in Nigeria.

    Education system varies from one country to another, each country of the world adapts the system of education which suits them.this blog will focus on the diferencem between the education system in the Uk and in Nigeria.
    Looking at education system in the Uk, education is compulsory for the age bracket of 5-16 years. It is also the age for entry and exit into the pre-higher education.The pre-higher education comprises of primary and secondary education.The primary education is often the combination of junior and infact school while usually last for 4years while secodary school often lasts a period of 5years in which General certificate of Secondary Education(GCSE) exam will be taken before entering into the higher education, so in the Uk pre-higher education is usually finished between the 16 and 18.  Euroeducation.net(2011).

    Nevertheless the education system in Nigeria is closely thesame being that Nigeria adapted the British system of education.however some difference still arises when taken a close look, like in Nigeria it can be argued that there is no such thing as compulsory education.children strats primary school at the age of 5-6 which often lasts for a period of 6years before heading to secondary school which often covers a period of another 6years.

The people that live in the uk.

                                                 
     Uk which means United kingdom is made up of four nations namely England, Scotland, wales and northern Ireland.They are also known as The Great Britian. This eassy will focus on the people who live in britian.
     Uk has a pou;ation of about 60,776,238(July 2007). English are often used wrongly to generalize the people from britian, English is a person from England, Scotish is a person from Scotland while people from Wales and Northern Ireland are known as Welsh and Irish respectively. The Britian are so a multicultural society. Due to the combinations of many immigrants and many ethnic groups they terms to be diversed in cultural aspects.
