Argument
My name is and I have decided to talk and write about education work certificate because for me education is one of the most important base element of our life .
Education is a process either formal or informal of acquiring knowledge and skills , leading to the development of understanding attitudes and values . Formal education is a organized instruction undertaken by society .
British education has a very interesting past and nowadays it has a very good reputation and the British qualifications are recognized everywhere in the world . The quality of British courses is strictly controlled , thing which assures the maintenance of high standards .
In United Kingdom , you can find a large variety of courses and places where to learn , as schools , state schools , universities , polytechnics , etc .
What I like most about Britain education , in all its forms , is that it is personalized and that the individual support given to each student in part , pursues that the student does not lag behind or feel isolated .
But the biggest advantage , from my point of view , for a foreigner , that wants to receive or attend British Education , is that the university programs are much intensive and shorter . So , for example , we , the Romanians can obtain a prestigious qualification in a shorter time and with less money .
Introduction
One widely canvassed method of effecting social improvements and combating drunkenness , brutality and other social evils was the expansion of education . The belief that schooling could lead to moral regeneration was one reason why the Church played an important part in the education question though of course the specifically religious element in education had ensured their earlier interest . In addition to the national school-building societies , many Churches were active at a local level . In Sheffield the Anglicans founded a local Church of England Instruction Society in 1839 and soon Methodists and Quakers responded to the initiative by founding their own educational association in the town . A belief in the importance of increased literacy in improving character was also a principal motive behind the State s first hesitant intervention in this field . The first meager State grant of & 20,000 in 1833 was raised to & 30,000 in 1839 , but as yet represented only a modest subsidy given to the two principal voluntary school-building societies the British and Foreign School Society of 1807 , which included both Anglicans and Nonconformists and the exclusively Anglican National Society of 1811 . Until 1869 all of the inspectors employed to check the use of the State grants to schools were clergymen .
The substantial number of schools provided by the societies , with their religious base , was complemented by the growing number of privately founded and operated schools ; at mid-century , for example , Sheffield had about 180 private schools .
Although these schools extended literacy , despite the rapidly growing population , they rarely managed to cater for the needs of the children of very poor . As this deficiency became obvious , attempts were made to meet it by such devices as the spread of Ragged Schools , institutions which offered basis elementary education , some food and clothing and instruction in public and religious duties . At mid-century moves were also under way for the creation of a network of reform schools aimed at the rehabilitation of juvenile criminals . Other agencies such as mechanics s institutes and the extensive Sunday School movement supplemented the work of the ordinary elementary schools .
The educational attainment of the first of the nineteenth century was impressive and much of it was concentrated into the 1830-50 period . However , the highest hopes of the social reformers who prompted this expansion were never fully realized . Alike in town and country , crime , brutality , violence and drunkenness continued , though probably not so commonly as in early periods . A moderns study of popular disturbances in Britain has concluded that Victorians were not indulging in self deception when they claimed to be living in a more stable and orderly society . The achievement was real , even if it was relative rather than absolute . The expansion in education was often cited as a principal reason for the relative social tranquility attained by mid-century , despite population growth , the expansion of towns and the pace of economic and social change .
