Free University of Berlin The Freie Universität Berlin (lit. "Free University of Berlin", often abbreviated as FU Berlin) is a renowned research university located in Berlin and one of the most prominent universities in Germany. It is internationally known for its research in the humanities and social sciences, as well as in the field of natural and life sciences. Founded in West Berlin during the early Cold War period and born out of the increasingly Communist-controlled Humboldt University, its name refers to West Berlin's status as part of the free world, as opposed to the Soviet-occupied "unfree" areas surrounding the city. Freie Universität Berlin was one of nine German universities to win in the German Universities Excellence Initiative, a national competition for universities organized by the German federal government. History[edit] Freie Universität Berlin was established by students and scholars on December 4, 1948. Kaiser Wilhlem Institute for Chemistry, today: Hahn-Meitner building Recent years[edit]
Education in Australia Adults employed in the education and training industry as a percentage of the adult population in Australia divided geographically by statistical local area, as of the 2011 census Education in Australia is primarily the responsibility of the states and territories. Each state or territory government provides funding and regulates the public and private schools within its governing area. The federal government helps fund the public universities, but was not involved in setting university curriculum.[8] As of 2012, the Australian National Curriculum,[9] under development and trial for several years, has already been adopted by some schools and will become mandatory soon. Generally, education in Australia follows the three-tier model which includes primary education (primary schools), followed by secondary education (secondary schools/high schools) and tertiary education (Universities, TAFE colleges and Vocation Education and Training providers (VET providers)). Pre-school[edit] School[edit]
Further education Further education (often abbreviated FE) in the United Kingdom and Ireland, not dissimilar to continuing education in the United States, is a term used to refer to post-compulsory education (in addition to that received at secondary school), that is distinct from the higher education offered in universities. It may be at any level above compulsory secondary education, from basic skills training to higher vocational qualifications such as PGCE, NVQ, City and Guilds, BTEC, HNC, HND or Foundation Degree. A distinction is usually made between FE and higher education HE, an education at a higher level than secondary school, usually provided in distinct institutions such as universities. FE in the United Kingdom is usually a means to attain an intermediate or follow up qualification necessary to attend university, or begin a specific career path, e.g. Further education by country[edit] Australia[edit] United Kingdom[edit] England[edit] Northern Ireland[edit] Scotland[edit] Wales[edit] Ireland[edit]

Education in the United States Private schools are generally free to determine their own curriculum and staffing policies, with voluntary accreditation available through independent regional accreditation authorities. 88% of school-age children attend public schools, 9% attend private schools, and nearly 3% are homeschooled.[5] There are also a large number and wide variety of publicly and privately administered institutions of higher education throughout the country. Post-secondary education, divided into college, as the first tertiary degree, and graduate school, is described in a separate section below. History[edit] In 1823, Reverend Samuel Read Hall founded the first normal school, the Columbian School in Concord, Vermont,[7][8] to improve the quality of the burgeoning common school system by producing more qualified teachers. Starting from about 1876, thirty-nine states (out of 50) passed a constitutional amendment to their state constitutions, called Blaine Amendments after James G. Statistics[edit]
Destination Data Students The Department for Education today published new data showing how many students progressed to further or higher education or training for each school, college and local authority in England. It is also the first time that the number and proportion of young people in a school, college and authority who attend Oxbridge or another Russell Group university is being published. The statistics - published as part of the Government’s transparency agenda - give parents and the public even greater information with which they can choose the right school or college for their child. In particular, today’s statistics, which relate to maintained schools, further education colleges and sixth form colleges, show what proportion and number of students were in: It is the latest step in the Department for Education’s pledge to open up a mass of previously unpublished statistics. Schools Minister Lord Hill said: He added: Headline statistics In the year after taking an A level or equivalent at Key Stage 5: Regions
List of universities in Australia The Commonwealth Higher Education Support Act 2003 sets out three groups of Australian higher education providers: Universities, other self-accrediting higher education institutions, and state and territory accredited higher education institutions. Students at all three types of institutions are eligible for FEE-HELP, an income-contingent loan to cover charges and fees.

Education in the United Kingdom Education in the United Kingdom is a devolved matter with each of the countries of the United Kingdom having separate systems under separate governments: the UK Government is responsible for England; the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government and the Northern Ireland Executive are responsible for Scotland,[1] Wales[2] and Northern Ireland, respectively. For details of education in each country, see: In each country there are five stages of education: early years, primary, secondary, Further Education (FE) and Higher Education (HE).[3] Education is compulsory for all children between the ages of 5 (4 in Northern Ireland) and 16;[3] before this children can be educated at nursery.[4] FE is non-compulsory, and covers non-advanced education which can be taken at further (including tertiary) education colleges and HE institutions (HEIs).

Blog-Artikel: Schools in Britain There are several kinds of schools in Britain to choose from. Parents can either send their children to state schools, which are cheaper but they do not offer as high level of education as private sector or spend little fortunes on their little scholars sending them to some private, boarding schools, looking like more of mansions than school buildings. But no matter where the children educate, they follow the same pattern of schools they have to go through: preparatory school, senior school, 6th form or college, and finally polytechnics or university. All children in England start their education at 4 or 5, some even at 3 and go to preparatory school, to attend their lessons with year 1 group. The next kind of place where children are taught is senior school. However, those, who are more ambitious, go to 6th form or college. Finally, university or polytechnics education starts.
King's College London King's College London (informally King's or KCL) is a public research university located in London, United Kingdom, and a constituent college of the federal University of London. King's is arguably the third-oldest university in England, having been founded by King George IV and the Duke of Wellington in 1829, receiving its royal charter in the same year.[4][5] St Thomas' Hospital, which is now a teaching hospital of King's College London School of Medicine, has roots dating back to 1173. In 1836, King's became one of the two founding colleges of the University of London.[6][7][8] History[edit] Foundation[edit] A royal charter to incorporate King's College was granted by George IV on 14 August 1829, stating the intention of the new College:[18] ...for the general education of youth in which the various branches of Literature and Science are intended to be taught, and also the doctrines and duties of Christianity... inculcated by the United Church of England and Ireland. 19th century[edit]
