In September，British children go back to school after their long summer holidays．There are two types of school in Britain．One type is run by the government．They are state schools，and free to attend．The other type is private schools．They are private，and you have to pay to attend．
Children start school when they are five years old．This is called primary school，and lasts until the child is 11．Secondary school is compulsory from 11until 16years old．At 16，students take a national examination called the GCSE．After that，they can stay at school for another 2years and take the A-Level Examination．It's necessary if they want to go on to university at 18．
Many university courses last 3years，but some courses can take much longer to complete，such as languages or medicine．Students have to pay for part of their courses．They can borrow money from banks，called a student loan，or take part-time jobs．
For the British，many of their friends at school remain friends for life，so it's true that schooldays are really the best days of one's life．
