Education in Russia and education in Great Britain.

Education in every country has it's own features . I would like to tell about education in Russia and in Great Britain . And I'm going to compare them .

The first and the most obvious difference is that Russian children go to school when they are 6 years old , and British children go to school when they are 5 . Children  in Great Britain study for 13 years , when here in Russia we study for 11 years . Pupils in Russia have compulsory subjects which they have to study , they can't refuse from any of them . But in Great Britain pupils of high school choose 3 or 4 subjects which they would like to study to enter the university. And I think the second variant of education is more preferable , at least for me . For example, I had to study chemistry , physics and biology , which I didn't understand at all , I just wasted my time . Instead of these lessons I would like to have more English and Literature classes. And the last difference is that Russian pupils take the Unified State Exam and Britain pupils take the General Certificate of Secondary Education examination .

Of course these are not all the differences , but these are the most obvious.
