Comparison of Education in Britain and Estonia
Comparison of Education in Britain and Estonia
When looking into the educational systems of Britain and Estonia, several differences appear.
In this essay I am going to point out some of the most distinguish features in the education of
both countries.
Firstly, there are dissimilarities in the age at which children go to school. In Estonia the age is
7 whereas in Britain children start their educational journey already as young as 5 years old.
Primary school lasts 6 years just like in Estonia but the pupils in Britain are 2 years younger
when they finish primary school than the pupils in Estonia. However, students in Britain and
Estonia finish secondary school at the same age because secondary school lasts 5 years in
Britain instead of 3 like it is in Estonia
