The open university is a non-residential university offering degree and other courses for adult students of all ages. They offer degrees which are the same as those of other universities.Further education is often taken part-time or in the evening. Further education colleges have strong links with industry and commerce, employers often being involved in the design of the courses.

The Selective System
The Comprehensive System
A system for secondary schooling in Britain, under which all children, regardless of ability, can mix together.In comprehensive schools, students study a wide variety of subjects at first until 2 or 3 years later, when they may study only those they like best.Many new ideas in education are being tried out at present, and comprehensive schools vary widely throughout Britain.
Independent Schools
Public schools: secondary private boarding schools that prepare students chiefly for universities. They laid the foundations of English education, but now are generally restricted to a comparatively small section of the population, mainly the rich and conservative in politics. Eton, Harrow and Rugby are the 3 most famous public schools.
Independent Schools
Other Schools
County schools: state-run secondary schools, most of which are administered by the county or county borough. About half of the money comes from the local authority and the other half from the central government. Voluntary schools: also called mission schools in other countries, secondary schools in Britain that are mostly Church of England or Roman Catholic in origin, and partly maintained and controlled by the local authority. They give a certain amount of denominational religious instruction. Education is free in such schools.
