What subjects does the national program cover in public schools in the UK?
The national program is developed by the state and is mandatory for all schools. Most private schools follow the national curriculum, but have the right to change the way they teach subjects. The national program includes the following subjects: English, technology and design, geography, mathematics, computer science, music, natural sciences, foreign languages, art, physical training, history. The national program is divided into 4 stages and is called "Stages", depending on the age of the child:

Children aged 7-11 (Level 2) study all subjects except foreign languages.
14-year-olds (Level 3) study the following compulsory subjects: mathematics, English science, foreign language, technology. They must study at least one additional social science: geography or history, as well as a subject in the arts: art, physical education, or music. According to the school schedule, children can study all social and art sciences at will.

The following schools differ in terms of gender: Children of both sexes are educated in mixed schools. In schools for girls - only girls, in boys schools, only boys. Preschool education institutions
Preschool education is available to UK citizens in public and private schools. Most children go to kindergartens designed for 3-4 year olds.
Preparatory education
Special schools accept children in primary or preparatory classes from the age of 4-5. International students move to a special school at the age of 7, and then to the middle grades of a school at the age of 11-13.
Primary education
Primary schools are designed for children over 5 years of age. At the age of 11, students go to college or high school at the same school.
Secondary education Secondary education is compulsory for children under 16 years of age. Children between the ages of 11 and 16 are taught in private-public and private schools, followed by a general certificate of professional certification under the GCSE (General English Certificate of General Education) or GNVQ (General National Professional Qualifications in English). Many foreign children enter English secondary schools (mainly special boarding schools) between the ages of 11 and 13. British schools strive to shape a creative, confident, independent individual. Children study on a variety of topics and then take an exam - a general entrance exam. If he passes the exam successfully, he can enter a large school. Children between the ages of 14 and 16 prepare for the exam (in 7-9 basic subjects) on the basis of which they have a Secondary Special Reference (Secondary Special Reference).
The UK, on the other hand, trains independent citizens who are serious about their health and their families. But shoes and clothes for the British are made by Asian shoemakers and tailors, not British disabled people. So what program are we implementing? According to some British comrades, the school should be turned into a club of interest by minimizing the usual compulsory education program. Let the kids do what they love! Is this what we are striving for? .. Broad Teacher In an environment where the health of the younger generation is deteriorating year by year and the number of children with developmental disabilities is increasing, there is an opinion that teachers need to improve their skills to be able to work with different categories of children . And the ideal is to train every teacher and speech pathologist. But these are different things! There is a secondary school teacher and a defectologist-teacher, who are different specialists. In this case, of course, every teacher should know the basics of defectology, which makes a lot of sense. In our practice, we all need to understand that a child may have special educational needs. By the way, this is a very broad concept - it is the children of immigrants who do not speak Russian, and children at risk - drug addicts, hooligans, sleepers and children with disabilities. Thus, every teacher needs to understand how complex the problem is. Don’t try to fix something that can’t be fixed in a lifetime in two weeks, even if it requires such results. The teacher needs to carefully assess their abilities, work with different children, know what methods to use, what to do and what not to do, as well as which specialist to seek help if they are not qualified enough . . They don’t worry about what great schools there are in the UK and Iceland, but what to do with a student who sits under a desk at the beginning of a class and can’t get out of there.
