programs which encourage EU citizens to take advantage ofopportunities which the EU offers its citizens to live, study and workin other countries. The best known of these is the Erasmus program ,under which more than 2,000,000 students have taken part in inter-university exchange and mobility over the last 20 years. Since 2000,conscious of the importance of Education and Training for theireconomic and social objectives, EU Member States have begun

working together to achieve a set of 13 specific goals in the field ofEducation. This is referred to as the Education and Training 2010 program. By sharing examples of good policy practice, by taking partin Peer Learning activities, by setting benchmarks and by trackingprogress against key indicators, the 27 Member States aim to respondcoherently to common challenges, whilst retaining their individualsovereignty in the field of Education policy. The European Union isalso a partner in various inter-governmental p rojects, including theBologna Proces s whose purpos e is to create a European highereducation area by harmonizing academic degre e structures andstandards as well as academic quality assurance standards

throughout EU Member States and in other European countries.

UK: 11-year compulsory education Primary School (Age 5-11) (22800 schools) State school Comprehensive School (Age 11-16) (3450 schools) State school Grammar School (Age 11-18) (232 schools) College-bound State school In education in the United Kingdom , a grammar school is a

secondary school attended by pupils aged 11 to 18 to which entry iscontrolled by means of an academically selective process consisting,largely or exclusively, of a written examination . After leaving agrammar school, as with any other secondary school, a student maygo into further education at a college or university.

Public School (Age 13-18) (2409 schools ) (Elite oriented private school ) (Fostering fair play spirit, mission and leadership through boarding life)

A public school, in common British usage, is a school which is usually prestigiousand historic, which charges fees, does not arbitrarily restrict admissions, and isfinanced by bodies other than the state, commonly as a private charitable trust.Often but not always they are boarding schools. Confusingly to a non-native Englishspeaker a public school is actually a private school! In British usage, a government-run school (which would be called a 'public school' in other areas, such as theUnited States ) is called a state school. (Fair play, Boarding, mission and leadership)
