The UK Education System is divided into four main stages: primary, secondary, further, and higher education. Children typically start primary school at age 4 or 5, progressing through Key Stages 1 and 2 until age 11. They then move to secondary school, where they study for their GCSEs until age 16. After completing GCSEs, students can choose to continue their education in sixth form or college for two more years, studying for A-levels or vocational qualifications. Higher education follows, where students can attend universities to pursue undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
