The secondary modern schools are different from grammar schools. Second modern schools emphasize students' practical skills. They are somewhat like our vocational schools(职业学校). But of course they also give students general education just like grammar schools. But their cond itions are not good comparing with grammar schools. Pupils have to leave the schools when they are 16 So"eleven-plus"decides who will attend the grammar schools, or we can say who will enter colleges and universities. This arouses some disagreements. Many ople say one examination cannot exactly tell which child is more academically talented. What's more, they are too young to show their talents. To solve this problem. two measures are taken by the educational authorities. Firstly, the secondary modern schools divide their pupils into different classes accord ing to the pupils'level of stud E.g. they put the best pupils in one class, and try to teach them to pass certain exam to get a General Certificate of Education at o(Ordinary) level. If the pupils can reach the goal, they can be transferred to grammar schools. Secondly, a new kind of econdary school is established. This is what we called the Comprehensive Secondary Schools 3. The Comprehensive Secondary schools The Comprehensive Secondary School system was established before 1960. This system provides that children start school when they are five years old. When they reach the age of eleven, they graduate from primary schools. They don' t need to take part in"eleven-plus". All pupils can enter a new kind of secondary school-the Comprehensive Secondary School directly. Then these pupils spend another 6 years studying in the Comprehensive Secondary School. After they graduate from the secondary school, they take part in the examinations given by the public examining board. Those who don't want to go on their education in colleges and universities can choose to win the Cse(the Certificate of Secondary Education) and then look for paid jobs. Those who want to go on their education can take part in the exam to win the general Certificate of Education at "o"level The gce is much more difficult than the CSE, and it is of higher level. After they win the gCe at"o"level, they can stay in the school for the advanced study for another two years until they reach the age of 18. Then, they can take part in another examination to win the gce at"A level to enter the universities and colleges. (P109, paragraph 2)(P. 111, paragraph 3) 4.
