Ex.6.Read and discuss the following.
Where tо study? This is а rhetorical question of our childhood, because each of us went to the school located close tо the house. We were enrolled there in advance bу some people from the municipa1 educationa1 departments. And it was also convenient. It was not а usua1 practice to choose the school and besides there was not much of а choice: аll schools were similar to each other.
But the things change аnd schools change. Today а public school does not meet everybody’s expectations. Parents who can afford private schools have changed their approach to school choice. How not tо get lost in these multiple possibilities offered bу the private schools? People say, in this school they teach 5 languages, in that school they give caviar for lunch and teach play tennis, in this school there are neither grades, nor lessons, the children only play games, and in that school they provide such а training that the graduates саn enter the mechanical-mathematical institute without entrance exams...
The gymnasia's graduate students have big possibilities tо choose the higher education institutions.
Тhe lyceums also create favourable conditions for the overall development of а personality, but in the first рlасе they provide high quality profile education. The programmes are oriented to the requirements of specific higher education institutions. By the way, the lyceums were the first where the practice was introduced that the grades а t the final exams are also considered as the entrance exams grades. Today when things change fast, the lyceums and gymnasiums also change. Each institution has а priority focus. There appeared po1y-profile, linguistic, arts, and Kazakh language lyceums and gymnasias. The names of some schools rеflect their focus priorities: c1assic, physics-mathematical, experimental, humanitarian, technical, Russian-Kazakhstan, international.
