For me, one of the biggest differences between French and British society is the school system. Although they are quite similar in their structures: school is compulsory from 5 to 16 years old, they operate very differently. So we will see here, what are these differences: First of all, school rhythms are not the same. Students generally have classes Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. or 4 pm Each day, the day begins with an “assembly” which brings together students around themes concerning education or society. Then, the dates and the duration of the school holidays are not imposed at the central level by the Ministry of Education. Indeed, depending on the place of residence and the chosen school system (public or private), the dates and duration may vary. Finally, there is a different pedagogical and pedagogical approach. In fact, priority is given to differentiation and individualization: teaching is centered on the child, on his personal development and is adapted to his level. In primary school, learning is considered attractive, the educational content varied and adapted to the emotional context of the child. Teaching is thus differentiated according to each pupil, and subjects are often combined, for “active learning”. When faced with evaluation, the English value creativity and place more emphasis on the process than on the final product. Later, the emphasis is on personal responsibility: young Brits are not seen as mere pupils but as responsible individuals, for example giving them the possibility of choosing the courses they wish to take. And finally, don't forget about the uniform, which almost every school needs. This tradition would facilitate the integration of young people by erasing social inequalities and reducing problems of discrimination.
