Defferent between the education system in my country and in UK

My country, China, a big country, there are more than 1.3 billion people, and the government is very pay attention to the education. In my country, there is a very popular sentence: education must be catched from the children.

There are five phases of education in China, they are include Nursery Education, Primary Education, Secondary Education, Senior Highand Education, Higher Education. And each education has typical years provision, such as nursery education is 0-5 years old, primary education is 6-11 years old, secondary education is 11-14 years old, senior high education is 15-18 years old, and the last one higher education is more than 18 years old. As a research, it has a little different with UK education system. In the UK, there are five educations, such as Pre-school and nursery education, Primary education, Lower secondary education, Upper secondary education and Higher and further education. Therefore, their typical age provision is also difference, for example, the lower secondary education' s typical age is from 11 to 14 years old. Consequently, the education system has some different between China with UK.

Of course, it also have parallel school systems in the UK:
the state system, where education is provided free.
the independent system, where parents normally pay fees.
About one in thirteen of British school-age children goes through the independent system. International students under age of sixteen normally go to independent schools, which include most Britain's famous and ancient schools.

In summary, there are some different education system and it also have two common system between China with UK. It can not fixed position which is better, it just vary with each individual.
