For many parents， one of the most important things is to ensure their children have a good education.
Britain’s education system is well known around the world. Thousands of students come from overseas to be educated in the UK in many different places including private schools， tutorial colleges， and international schools.
Private schools like Harrow and Eton are expensive to get into but what else makes them different from state schools？
There are two differences between a private school and a state school. The most important one is that parents have to pay fees to go to a private school. Whereas a state school is free of charge.
But the other difference is that private schools in this country are not obliged to follow the national state governed curriculum， or even to take the state examinations. So they have a much greater degree of freedom.
The pupils at private schools are treated just like pupils in every other school including the state schools in England. They are not pampered； very far from it， they are expected to behave well， to work hard； they are punished if they don’t.
对许多家长而言，最重要的事情之一是确保他们的孩子有一个良好的教育。
英国教育体系的知名度是众所周知的。每年数千名来自海外的学子在英国不同的地方接受教育，包括私立学校、补习学院、国际学校。
像哈罗和伊顿这样的私立学校需要支付昂贵的学费才能进入。但什么使私立学校与公立学校不同呢？
英国的公立学校和私立学校之间主要有两个不同点。首先，父母必须为孩子支付学费才能进入私立学校，而公立学校是免费的。
另一个不同是，私立学校没有义务遵循国家的教学课程，甚至不采用国家考试，因此，学校有更大的自由度。
英国私立学校的学生跟公立学校学生都受到同等对待。他们不会享受任何宠爱，甚至人们期望他们表现得更好，更加努力。如果没有达到要求，他们会被惩罚。
（PS：美式英语中“Public school”就是所谓的“公立学校”，经费绝大部分由政府补助。私立学校称为“Private school”。）
