At the beginning or end of each term the progress of the students is tested by the college examinations.

University of London

1. The University of London is a federation of more than 50 British institutions of higher learning, located primarily in London. Its department of extra-mural studies enrols nearly 12,000 persons. One of the colleges, Birkbeck College, accepts for undergraduate work “only part-time students who earn their living during the day”.

2. The university was a product of the Liberal movement of the 19th century. Following a call by poet Thomas Campbell in 1825 for a university to provide education for the class between the “mechanics” and the “enormously rich,” liberals and religious dissenters founded London University (now University College) in 1826; instruction began in 1828. In 1836 University College had to join forces with King’s College and the University of London was created as an administrative entity that would hold no classes of its own but would examine and grant degrees to the students of the two colleges.

3. Under the Supplemental Charter of 1849, it became possible for students from any institution of higher learning anywhere in the British Empire to be examined by the university and awarded a University of London degree. Students from institutions as different as the University of Oxford and the Working Men’s College of London thereby could become recipients of London degrees. In 1858 students who were not enrolled in any institution were allowed to become degree candidates.

4. By the early 20th century many other institutions had been affiliated with the university, including the London School of Economics and Political Science, now an internationally respected centre for the study of social science; and three institutions that later became the Imperial College of Science and Technology. In 1900 the university was authorized to begin offering its own courses.

Notes:
1. following a call – в ответ на призыв
2. dissenter – раскольник, диссидент; dissenters -диссентеры (распространенное в XVI — XVII в.в. в Англии название лиц, не согласных с вероучением и культом англиканской церкви)
3. under the Supplemental Charter – в соответствии с дополнением к уставу
IX. Прочитайте 4 абзац текста и дайте ответы на следующие вопросы:
1. Who can be awarded the University of London degrees?
2. How is the London School of Economics and Political Science related to the University of London?

Educational systems

1. Educational systems include formal institutions and organizations of a country that transmit knowledge and cultural heritage and that influence the social and intellectual growth of the individual.

2. Most countries have a centralized governmental agency that organizes, administers, finances and controls the formal and cultural aspects of education. The laws, curricular, personnel and methods of instruction generally are determined in the central office. Examples of countries with centralized systems are France, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Greece, Argentina and Brazil.

3. Decentralized educational systems are bound in such countries as Switzerland, the United States, Germany, India, Canada and Australia. This system is characterized by limited participation of central authorities in policy making. Countries such as Canada, Germany and Australia have appointed state ministries of education and state systems of inspection. In the United States individual states are responsible for providing education. States may tend toward either centralization or decentralization.

4. A third type of system is a hybrid: administration and control are shared by national and local authorities. Such is the case in England where education laws originate in Parliament but actual administration is in the hands of local government.

5. The system of higher education had its origin in Europe of the middle ages when the first universities were established. The earliest western institution that can be called a university was a famous medical school that arose at Palermo, Italy, in the 9th century and drew students from all over Europe.
The first true university was founded at Bologna late in the 11th century. The early universities were corporations of students and masters and they received their charters from Popes, emperors and kings. Students studied under one of the professional faculties of medicine, law and theology.

6. In the later 18th and 19th centuries religion was gradually displaced as the dominant force. European universities became institutions of modern learning and research.

7. Two factors increasingly have challenged the educational systems during the 20th century: industrialization and population growth which required more extensive formal educational preparations than in the past.
The Open University is a unique innovation of higher education. It is intended for people who study in their own free time and provides courses of study through television, radio and local study programs.

Notes:
1. To transmit – передавать по наследству.
2. Heritage – наследие.
3. Agency – орган.
4. maintenance — средство к существованию.

Oxford (continued)

6. Oxford is an historical and unique institution. There is no clear date of foundation but teaching existed at Oxford in some form in 1096 and developed rapidly from 1167.

7. In the 13th century rioting between town and gown (townspeople and students) caused the establishment of primitive «halls of residence». These succeeded by the first of Oxford’s colleges. Until 1871 the university was only for men. From 1878 academic «halls of residence» were established for women who became members of the university. In the 1970’s most colleges opened their doors to both men and women.

8. Oxford is an independent and self-governing institution consisting of the central university and colleges. Each college offers teaching in a wide range of subjects, has its name and coat of arms. The colleges, though independent and self-governing, form a core element of the university.

9. The different spheres in which the University and Colleges are active usually respect the historical development of the University. Colleges select and admit students; provide accommodation, meals, common rooms, libraries, sports and social facilities for their students.
The University determines the content of course; organizes lectures and seminars; sets and marks examinations; awards degrees.

10. As one of the leading international universities Oxford attracts scholars from all over the world. Each year Oxford welcomes talented students from all over the globe.
The programmes of study aim to make students think logically and independently. Oxford is one of the largest and most prestigious universities in the world. It has strong links with research institutions and with business and industry, both in the United Kingdom and overseas.
