UK Further Education & Sixth Form College
State colleges and independent colleges are two major types of colleges in the UK that prepare students for their university and career life. Teaching approach in colleges share great similarities with those in universities, where students are given a greater scope of freedom. In colleges, there is no official school hours. Students are only required to come to school when there are classes to attend. Other than that, they are free to decide how they want to spend their time, whether on schoolwork or leisure. Students are also not obliged to join any extracurricular activities and are not required to wear uniforms! Being free from the rules and discipline of boarding schools, studying in colleges requires a lot more self-discipline. If made use of wisely, it’s a terrific training of independence and self-reliance, from which students will benefit greatly when they progress to universities.
