British curriculum
The British curriculum refers to the educational framework used in schools across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It is designed to provide a structured learning experience for students from ages 5 to 16. The curriculum is divided into key stages, with specific subjects and learning objectives outlined for each stage, ensuring a comprehensive education in areas such as English, Mathematics, and Science.
In addition to core subjects, the British curriculum includes a range of optional subjects like History, Geography, and Art. Students typically take standardized assessments, known as SATs and GCSEs, at the end of key stages to evaluate their progress and understanding. This system aims to prepare students for further education or vocational training.
