Education System in Uzbekistan
The school education in Uzbekistan is distributed over two phases: The first phase of school education delivers 9 years of compulsory education. Second phase offers education and vocational programmes after 9 years of compulsory schooling. It includes general secondary education and specialized secondary education. Students complete general secondary education in school for the tenth and eleventh grades. Upon successful completion a Certificate of Complete Secondary Education is awarded.
Specialized secondary education in Uzbekistan is delivered by a network of schools:

• 
  PTU or Professional Technical School: Students receive a Junior Specialist Diploma equal to a Certificate of Complete Secondary Education.
  
• 
  Technical College: Students receive a Junior Specialist Diploma equal to a Certificate of Complete Secondary Education.
  
• 
  Lyceum: Students receive a Junior Specialist Diploma or Diploma of Academic Lyceum equal to a Certificate of Complete Secondary Education.
  

The earlier educational system in Uzbekistan required 11 years of compulsory schooling for both boys and girls. In 1992 the policy decision was made to change from 11 to 9 years of compulsory education. After nine years of compulsory education, students can prepare for higher education in tenth or eleventh grade or turn to vocational training. 
After completion of any type of secondary education general or vocational an individual can enter a higher education institution to obtain a bachelor's degree and continue study toward a master's or doctoral degree.

Education System in Great Britain
The British system of education is rather complicated and many - staged.
1. The first stage is nursery education which is often seen as the “Cinderella” of the system because there is very little state provision. Parents have to pay.
2. The second stage is primary education which embraces pupils from 5 till 11 years old (5-11 years old; 1-6 forms)
3. Secondary education is divided into Junior High School (12-16; 7-11 forms; O-level exams) and Senior High School (17-18 years old; 12-13 forms A-level exams).
4. From Junior High School students may go to colleges of further education and the sixth form. The sixth form refers to those pupils who are studying beyond the age of 16.
5. From Senior High School students may go to Universities and High Education colleges and get Bachelor’s degree (3-4 years) or to Polytechnics and get Bachelor’s degree (3-4 years) and Master’s Degree (+1 year); or to Universities and get Bachelor’s Degree (3-4 years), Master’s Degree (+1 year) or Doctor of Philosophy (+3 years). This stage is linked with Higher Education which is provided at Universities, polytechnics and other educational institutions of higher and further education.
6. There are public schools where the emphasis is on «character – building» and the development of «team spirit». The public school system involves “boarding schools”. Their aim is to prepare young men to take up positions in the higher ranks of the army, business, the legal profession, the civil service and politics. In Britain today, about 8% of children are educated outside the state system. The best known boarding schools are Eton, Harrow, and Rugby. According to statistics 90% of graduates of public schools enter Oxford, Cambridge. There are 20 A-level schools: 11 for girls, 7 for boys, 2 for boys and girls. When the pupils from boarding schools finish their education, they form the ruling elite, closed group, separate from the rest of the society. Entry into this group is difficult for anybody who has a different education
Education in the USA
America has rightfully and for many years been an international leader in the field of the highest level of quality in higher education. According to statistics in the United States, the literacy rank is 99%, while at the same time, of the 250 top officials in America, 12% are graduates of ranking American universities.
Currently, the educational system in America has several specific features that were formed due to certain conditions of the country's development. The main feature is due to the lack of a unified state educational system in the United States. So, any American state has the right to pursue an independent educational policy.
The American education system consists of:
Preschools - education for kids aged 3 to 5 years
Primary schools (grades 1-8) - children from 6 to 13 years old are being studied
High School (grades 9-12) - teaching is conducted for students aged 14 to 17 years
Higher education - the duration of studies varies from 2 to 4 years.
Compared with the European educational system, a more democratic approach is inherent in the American one, while at the same time there is no rigid hierarchical structure.
The first stage of preschool education is called Pre-School, including nursery groups for the youngest toddlers and day schools, the alternative name of which is childcare centers. It is worth noting that some American advanced centers operate around the clock, usually private schools. The main goal facing educators of prestigious US preschools is the harmonious and comprehensive development of children and the production of oral speech. It is worth noting that this type of educational institution does not develop an educational program. So, it is planned to hold games between children, theatrical productions, classes in drawing, modeling, dancing, reading aloud works of literature are organized.
