Italian Constitution
This is what the Italian Constitution says about the right to education:Art.30: È dovere e diritto dei genitori mantenere, istruire ed educare i figli [...]Art. 33 L’arte e la scienza sono libere e libero ne è l’insegnamento [...]Art. 34: La scuola è aperta a tutti. L'istruzione inferiore, impartita per almeno otto anni, è obbligatoria e gratuita.
Primary and Secondary Schools
The two main (=principali) types of schools in England are primary schools and secondary schools.Primary school education is compulsory (=obbligatoria) from the age of 5 to 11.Secondary school education is compulsory from 11 to 16 years of age.At 16 some students leave school and do vocational training (= corsi di formazione professionale).About 70% of students stay at secondary school until they are 18.
There are 5 stages (=livelli) of education in England, called "Key Stages" At each stage students study different subjects.Students start secondary school at the age of 11, in Year 7.The compulsory subjects are:English, Maths, Science, Art and Design, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Design and Technology (D&T), Geography, History, Music, Physical Education (PE), Citizenship, Religious Education (RE) and Languages.
