Abstract	This study describes the United Kingdom's education and training system, which is a combination of facilities provided in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, each of which has its own special features but all of which have much in common. Section I gives such background information about the United Kingdom as geographical features and demography. An account of the historical development of education and vocational training is found in section II. Section III shows how the system is financed and how the responsibility for administration is allocated. School education from preschool to age 16 is described in section IV. Section V provides a description of the different institutions of higher and further education, the vocational courses at all levels that are offered, and some information about the independent examining bodies and the qualifications they award. Section VI focuses on training for special groups--unemployed adults and youth, disabled individuals, ethnic minorities, and women. Section VII looks at some of the developments that are likely to take place in the future. Appendix I is an explanation of terms. Appendix II contains a list of addresses from which information on the education and training system might be obtained. A list of abbreviations is given in Appendix III. (YLB)
