Educational system in Britain has strict quality standards. It is compulsory for all children aged 5 to 16 to study. British education is divided into two segments: state schools, which are free of charge, and private schools, which are paid for. Over 90% of children attend state public schools. Also Great Britain has two different systems of education: one is used in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and the other is used in Scotland. The most popular schools in Britain are Boarding Schools. These are institutions where kids not only study, but live. In Britain, as in many other countries, there is a pre-school education, i.e. there are nursery schools for children from 2 to 7. After the nursery school, kids attend Junior Schools till they are 13. During these years children have to pass an obligatory exam, called SAT (Standard Assessment Tests) twice. In case, they pass it successfully, they can easily transfer to the next step, which is called Senior School. This school is for children aged 13 to 18, and it prepares its pupils for the special exam called GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education). It is also the time for future profession choice. The main subjects at British schools are English, Mathematics, Geography, Art, Science, History, Physical Education, Information Technology, Music, Religious education and others. According to the classification of schools by gender, education in Britain can be divided into three types of institutions: mixed schools, schools for girls and schools for boys. Higher education in Great Britain is quite expensive, especially for foreign students. However, there are sometimes tuition grants for talented students. Образовательная система в Британии имеет строгие стандарты качества. Всем детям от 5 до 16 лет обязательно нужно учиться. Британское образование подразделяется на два сегмента: государственные школы, которые бесплатны, и частные школы, которые платны. Более 90% детей посещают государственные общеобразовательные школы. Также в Великобритании есть две различные системы образования: одна применима в Англии, Уэльсе и Северной Ирландии, а другая применима в Шотландии. Самыми популярными в Британии являются школы-пансионы. Это учебные заведения, в которых дети не только учатся, но и живут. В Британии, как и во многих других странах, есть дошкольное образование, т.е. есть детские сады для детей от 2 до 7 лет. После детского сада, дети ходят в младшую школу до 13 лет. За эти годы дети должны пройти обязательный экзамен, под названием SAT (Стандартный Оценочный Тест) дважды. В случае, если они сдадут его успешно, они могут легко перейти на следующую ступень, которая называется старшей школой. Эта школа для детей от 13 до 18 лет, и она готовит своих студентов к специальному экзамену GCSE (Общий Сертификат о Среднем Образовании). Это также время для выбора будущей профессии. Основными предметами в Британских школах являются: английский язык, математика, география, искусство, наука, история, физкультура, информатика, музыка, религиозное образование и другие. В соответствии с классификацией школ по половой принадлежности, образование Великобритании можно разделить на три типа учреждений: смешанные школы, школы для девочек и школы для мальчиков. Высшее образование в Великобритании довольно дорогое, особенно для иностранных студентов. Однако иногда бывают гранты на обучение для талантливых студентов.
All the rules of the celebration of Easter must begin with the Paschal services. It is very special, different from the usual Church services, very "light" and joyous. In Orthodox churches, usually Easter service begins at midnight, but it is better to come to the temple in advance so as not to be outside — most of the churches in Easter night full.
I always wondered how to celebrate this sacred holiday by all the rules. And here's what I learned The Easter Liturgy all believers always try to commune the Body and blood of Christ. And after end the service, the faithful "days all" - to greet each other with a kiss and the words "Christ is risen!"
When he got home, and sometimes directly in the Church, satisfied with the "Easter feast". During Easter week in all the churches, as a rule, allowed anyone to ring the bells. The celebration of Easter lasts for forty days — as much as Christ was to his disciples after the Resurrection.
On the fortieth day Jesus Christ ascended to God the Father. During the forty days of Easter, especially in the first week — the most solemn — visit each other at home, give painted eggs and cakes, play Easter games.
These traditions of celebrating I really liked, but unfortunately, in my family all of them are supported.
I would like to tell you how this day runs in my family. Every year we have the whole family waiting for Easter look. When you start all the preparations, I get up earlier than usual. We begin all training with what to paint eggs. First brother Eugene run to the forest to collect grass. I don't know how it's called, with a kind of low, greenish and fragrant. We do it and drop in my water for about two hours. Then drop in the resulting solution the eggs and look forward to when they are cooked and will be painted. Carefully take out and spread on a plate. This method of coloring eggs I like the most, because we don't use no chemicals, and use what nature has given.
Closer to the dinner at mom's "perfect" dough, and our family is taken for scones and cakes. Of course, all the work mom does, and Zhenya and sprinkle with ready-made rolls of different culinary decorations and poppy seeds.
All this is happening the day before. But here comes Easter Sunday. We without an alarm clock and get up very early, after washing, sit down to Breakfast. Breakfast begin with the words "Christ is risen!" and respond "truly risen!" And here the fun begins – we begin to "fight" eggs. When the winner in the end is determined, with a big appetite eat the "broken" eggs and all the yummy that mom zagotavlivayut (on this day the mother is trying to on the table was a lot of delicious food).
Easter Sunday really precious for me, because from morning to evening the whole family watch TV together, we play games, in General, have fun.
Yes, we can't observe all the traditions of the Orthodox, but we came up with their traditions. It seems to me that no matter how you spent this day. More importantly, after you have left with only bright and happy feeling!
