Are you flirting with the idea of studying in the UK? In this case, it is good to know that education is compulsory for all children aged 5 (4 in Northern Ireland) and 16 years old.
In principle, in the United Kingdom there are two education systems, compatible with each other but with different accents:
England, Wales and Northern Ireland - traditionally, the emphasis here is on a more in-depth approach to the subjects studied, with students taking fewer exams at a more advanced level;
Scotland - here the educational system is distinguished by a broader approach, better developed horizontally, students taking a higher number of exams, at a less advanced level.
