Your turn!

I will give you all a number (1-4). That number is alligned with a step in the UK educational system.

1. Primary School

2. Secondary School

3. Sixth Form/College

4. University

Let's get to work!

In the next 10 minutes, sit together with the people who have your number. Look up 6 facts about your step and become an expert on this part of UK education.

You are allowed to explain your 6 facts in a word document or powerpoint. Whichever works for you!

Some questions that may help you out:

- Are students required to wear a uniform?

- What does your step consist of (in terms of years)

- Are students able to sleep over at school?

- What are the requirements to pass this step of the system?

- Are all schools the same in terms of payment?

- Is this step part of 'compulsory education' (leerplicht)?

Hello teacher

Choose a 'teacher' from your group. They will come up to the front of the class to tell us all about their subject.

Note: You will have one minute (elevator pitch) to teach your students!

Expert Groups

As you are now all experts on a certain part of UK education, we are going to form new groups. In every group should be at least one number 1,2,3 & 4. Explain in one minute what you have found out about your topic.

Thank you!
