The topic "Education" includes the study of words and expressions associated with any education - school, university, courses, etc. "Education" in English sounds like "education". Education is divided into several types:

1. Incomplete secondary education - Junior secondary education
2. Complete secondary education - High education, high-school education.
3. Higher education - The higher education.

In addition, just higher education It is divided into undergraduate (baccalaureate) and magistracy (magistracy).

The first step in the education of each student is the school. The school is divided into two types: primary (elementary school) and secondary (secondary school).

In addition, schools have several more types:

Gymnasium - Gymnasium
Lyceum - Lyceum
Boarding school
State (maintained) school
Private school - Private school
School with in-depth study of English / mathematics - an English language / mathematic's school

When asked about activities, students can respond as follows:

I study in school./I go to school. – I study at school.

I am pupil. - I am a pupil.

To clarify which school your child is studying in, you can use the following:
I study in the elementary/secondary school. I am in elementary/high school.

In order to say in which class (form) the student is studying, you need to use ordinal numbers (first, second, third, etc.):
I study in the first form. - I'm in first grade.

The headmaster is in charge of the school, and the teacher leads the lessons. At the end of the course, students receive a certificate - the sertisicate.

At the end of schooling, there are final exams and a graduation party (farewell party).

After leaving school and receiving a full / incomplete education, a schoolchild enters a university / college:

to enter the university/college - go to university/college
I study in college/university. – I study at a college/university.
I am a student. - I am a student.
I'd like to enter the linguistic university. – I want to enter a linguistic university.

Attention! The particle to is not used in the combination to enter the .... Be careful.

It is worth noting that when asked "Where do you study?" answer briefly, without the verb to study:

Where do you study? – I'm at the University of Moscow. Where are you studying? – I study at Moscow University.

Ordinal numbers are used to indicate the course (year) in the same way as the class:

Which year are you in? – I'm in my fourth/final year. What course are you in? I am in my fourth/final year.

In addition, in colloquial speech, such a word as freshman is used - a freshman.

After graduation, students receive a bachelor's or master's degree.

I have the higher education. - I have a higher education.
I have a bachelor's/master's degree. – I have a bachelor's/master's degree.
I graduated from University. - I graduated from the university.

Attention! You can not use the combination "I'm graduated." There are only two options "I have graduated" / "I graduated".

A story about education in English

Hello, my name is Nina. I am 21 years old.

In 2000, I went to primary school in Moscow. After 4 years I went to high school. It was the gymnasium. At school I liked to study literature and the English language. I passed all final exams perfectly. We celebrated a beautiful farewell party. I got complete higher education because I studied 11 forms. The school gave me a lot of knowledge about the world.

Then I entered the Moscow State Linguistic University on specialty "Tourism". When I was in the second year, I started to learn French and Chinese.
In 2016 I graduated from University. And now I have a bachelor's degree. On next year I'd like to enter the Moscow State University. After 2 years I will have a master's degree. And I will have the higher education.

Today I work in a large international hotel. My education helps me on my work every day.

I think that education is the most important thing in my life. Through education at school and university, I have many friends, knowledge and good experience of life.

Notes:

1. English word notebook is never translated into Russian as “laptop”. English laptop laptop, A notebook This is a notebook, a large notebook for notes. A small pocket notebook is notepad.

2. Word class does not mean “classroom”, but a lesson. Cool room - classroom:

I take Spanish classes \ lessons. – I go to Spanish lessons.
See you in the classroom. - See you in class (in the office).

3. In Russian there is set expression: Finish your studies with honors. They say in English: to graduate with honors. This means that you graduated with a certain percentage of excellent grades in different subjects. Not an exact analogue of a red diploma, but better than saying “red diploma” - they will probably not understand you.

4. In Russian, a student is a student of a university, college, English student- it can be, for example, a student of courses or a student with a tutor.

5. In the US under the word school in colloquial speech, they often understand any educational institution: school, college, university.

Friends! People often ask me, but now I am not engaged in tutoring. If you need a teacher, I HIGHLY recommend - there are native (and non-native) teachers👅 for all occasions and for every pocket😄 I recommend this site, because I myself have gone through more than 80 lessons with the teachers I found there - and I advise try you!

It's still summer, but the new school year will start again very soon. I thought it was time to talk about schooling. Touch a little and study in higher educational institutions. This topic is very extensive, but in this article I will try to state the main thing, the main thing that interests the people studying, in particular, the schoolchildren and students themselves. They probably missed a word in English lessons or don’t know how this or that expression is translated, but for their classes they just need this information. In addition, some pupils and students have foreign friends with whom they communicate, so it is always useful to know a few important words about school and learning in general.

Of course, the information presented today will not give a complete picture, and in the future I will continue thematic lessons. I will present the material in the usual form: word - translation - example. I hope everything will be simple and clear for you.

University - maybe in your future, present and in the past, for which you want to be nostalgic. There are many expressions, words, names that can only be heard at the university. In English, there are many words that are characteristic of universities and student life. Today, I decided to introduce you to the main types of people who meet at the university.

University vocabulary.

University in English University, but in colloquial speech they simply say - “uni” (uni).

Let's start with the most important students at the university:

Freshman– 1st year student;
Sophomore– 2nd year student;
Junior– 3rd year student;
Senior- 4th year student.

All these students are called "undergraduate/undergrad students", that is, students who study for a bachelor's degree. And when a student completes all the first four courses, he becomes the owner of a "bachelor's degree" (bachelor's degree).

Master's student- a student who is studying for a master's degree.

Such students are called "grad / graduate students". These students can study and work at the university at the same time. "TA" and "RA" are the jobs that a student of this stage can perform:

TA- "teaching assistant" - helps professors teach students "undergrad";

RA- "researching assistant" - helps professors in laboratories and in various studies.

If, after graduating from the magistracy, a person continues his studies in graduate school, then he:

PhD Student- graduate student.

After graduation, a person becomes a "post-doc" - a researcher with a degree.

PhD students, just like professors, can work as teachers at the university:

Instructor/lecturer- teacher.

The next step in the university hierarchy belongs to professors:

Professor- professor (professor works in faculties with other professors).

A person at a university who leads the faculties and its professors, lecturers, students is:

Dean- Dean.

And the head of the entire university is:

president/rector- rector.

At the end of the article I want to warn you about one feature of the English language. If you hear an adult say that he goes to "school" "school", don't be surprised! The fact is that in colloquial American English speech, the university is called “school”.
