The dictionary presents the most important and interesting realities describing the facts from the history of the development of the country’s education system, the acts that influenced the formation and development of this system, famous educational institutions, and the realities associated with other aspects of the education system, as well as thematic vocabulary. The dictionary has 405 entries in alphabetical order. It is intended for students of language universities who study the history and culture of the English speaking countries. It can be useful for university teachers and school teachers who conduct practical English courses, students of pedagogical universities, as well as for those who have sufficient reading skills in English and are interested in the UK studies. 3 Education tells you what are you and why you are here.
