The British education system can be divided into three parts: basic education (compulsory education) from the age of 4/5 to 16, senior high school education from the age of 16 to pre-university education, preparatory education, university and above education known as higher education. England, Wales and Northern Ireland have the same education system, while Scotland has a different qualification system.
