To attend Undergraduate school in the UK for the price set by British Council, does one need to have residency
Does one need to have residency in the UK or Europe to go to school in the UK for the normal price set by the British Council, about 3000 pounds, or does one simply need European citizenship? For example, if an Italian citizen has residency in the USA, does he have to pay the international fee? Or does a British citizen with residency in India, does he have to pay the international fee?

It doesn't have as much to do with residency as it has to do with British or EU citizenship, that's what i've found. I'm Nigerian, started schooling here two years ago and i pay the international fees although i have residency here in London. If you are a citizen of the EU or Britain (you hold a passport), you will pay the home school fees. I heard that with a permanent residency you can get some sort of local government funding towards your fees which, in effect, is a discount on the international fees but i'm not on that. You would have to check with your local government council. Hope that was useful :-)!!

When I went to secondary school in the UK, they invited the Gideons to hand out bibles?
Now they excused the light brown children, and just forced the pink and dark brown ones to listen and take bibles. Who can I sue for this outrage? The headmaster, the school, the LEA or all 3?

Why sue? Will that get you anywhere? This world is full of heretics and hypocrites.

John 3:3-5 means, "If someone wants to be born again, they should be born of water and the Spirit. Here water means the baptism of Jesus, which does away with all the sins of the world once and for all. The Spirit means that Jesus who received baptism from John the Baptist is God Himself.�

All of them probably. Religion in UK schools is a tricky point. I didn't appreciate being forced to pray etc without having what I was doing explained to me. Once I'd worked out what I was doing, I was pretty annoyed that they'd forced me to do it. And if they excused kids on the grounds of skin colour, I should imagine some of those other 'pink and dark brown' children have greater reasons to sue than you.

All of your questions are answered on the following website which is very easy to use:- http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/index/your_family/education/access_to_education.htm#compulsory_school_age For example:- Starting school In England and Wales, most local authorities have a policy of accepting children into school at the beginning of the term during which the child becomes five. However, the child does not have to attend school until the beginning of the term following their fifth birthday. In Northern Ireland, a child who is four years old on or before 1 July in any year must start primary school on 1 September that year. In England, from the school year beginning September 2011, local authorities must accept children into primary school in the September following the child's fourth birthday. However, parents may request that their child does not start school until later in the year or until reaching compulsory school age. A parent will also be able to request that a child attends school part-time until compulsory school age. Free education places for three-year-olds and four-year-olds In England and Wales, every three-year-old and four-year-old is entitled to a free early education place. This is only if you want to take up a place. In England, the place should be provided for 12 and a half hours a week. From September 2010, this should be 15 hours a week. You can spread this flexibly over at least three days a week during normal term times. In Wales, the place should be provided for at least ten hours a week. There is no minimum to the number of weeks in a year the sessions should be provided. Not all nurseries, schools or playgroups take part in the scheme to provide free early education places. Your local education authority holds lists of places which provide early education. The places may be in nursery schools, nursery classes in primary schools or reception classes in primary schools. Other places may be in playgroups, private day nurseries, independent schools, or with childminders who belong to an approved network. Even if the place would normally charge fees, you will not have to pay for the number of hours you are entitled to for free. However, if your child attends for longer than that, you may have to pay for extra hours. You can find information about schools and other organisations providing early education places at: www.childcarelink.gov.uk, or by phoning 0800 234 6346. In Northern Ireland, many three-year-olds or four-year-olds are entitled to a pre-school education place. The availability of places varies from area to area and you are encouraged to apply if you wish to take up a place for your child. If free places are not available, you may have to pay for a place, but, if a centre has enough free places, all eligible children whose parents apply will be given a place. Schools and groups in the scheme will provide information about how to apply for a place and about the education they offer. If you cannot find a suitable place offering free early education, you should contact your local education authority. For all other problems with free early education, you should contact the organisation involved.

Start at 3 and leave at 18 (recently raised)
2010-05-08 10:30:11
Answer 3
I think you mean nursery, my daughter will start nursery a couple of days a week the term before her 3rd birthday (ie, April 2011) She will be going up to Reception the April or sept 2012 (i think) they usually don't start proper all day school till the term before they are 5.
2010-05-08 11:50:30
Answer 4
Children start school in the school year that they'd turn 5 (so will be aged 4 or 5 when they start). The school year runs from September 1st - August 31st. So your daughter would start in the school year beginning September 2012 (assuming she's 5 in May 2013) and it would be reception class. She will be 4 years old. I'm not sure where you've got September 2011 from, but I assume that must be nursery as it's a year too early for school! And if so, she doesn't have to go by any means.
2010-05-08 13:46:44
Answer 5
The term after she is 3, she is entitled to 15 hours of nursery provision. You can choose where you would like her to go, it can be a private day care, children's centre, surestart centre or school nursery, they will do the paperwork for you. You don't have to use it if you don't want to, and you can choose less hours or more than one setting. As for reception you will usually need to apply for a school place in the winter before she is due to start, so around November 2011 you should contact your local council, you usually get 3 choices of school and find out the result the following April, so you are ready for September (in your case September 2012). Her actual start date will vary from county to county and even vary from school to school. For example my daughter was 4 this April but she won't start Reception until January 2011 and spend the first term doing full days in the nursery, this is the policy at her school, others start them all in September.

This is a deliberately inflammatory question. You know that such a possibility has not be mooted in the UK.

Answer 4
Never heard a Muslim say this and there is a healthy Muslim community around here. Muslims have no reason to comment about The Holocaust because it didn't affect them in any way. Why are you talking about the UK anyway? You post about "fat" people in WalMart and there is no WalMart in the UK

I doubt any homeschoolers
Best Answer
That's going to depend on the school and the teacher. There's no reason to believe that every school and every teacher will have their syllabi available. The best place to get the syllabus would be from the teacher him- or herself. I doubt any homeschoolers--this is the homeschooling section--will have the syllabus for you.
