Culture further educationfurther educationFurther education in the UK means education after GCSE exams (or National 5 exams in Scotland) taken around the age of 16. It includes courses of study leading to A levels (or Highers in Scotland), which students take at their school or sixth-form college. Some students go straight to a college of further education which offers a wider range of full- and part-time courses. Further education also includes training for professional qualifications in nursing, accountancy and management, and in fields such as art and music. The term higher education is used in the UK and the US to refer to degree courses at universities.In the US further education usually means any other education after secondary school. It can mean study at college, or any study towards a professional qualification, and it can have a meaning similar to that of adult education or continuing education, something that people do after completing their main education, often for personal interest and satisfaction.Many students in the UK take vocational courses in fields such as building, engineering, hairdressing or secretarial skills. Colleges of further education offer courses leading to NVQs (or SVQs in Scotland) and other certificates and diplomas (= documents awarded for completing a course of study). Work-related courses are designed with advice from industry, with the aim of producing students who will have the skills employers require. On longer courses students may do placements (NAmE internships) (= periods of work) lasting several months with companies. On other courses, called sandwich courses, students divide their time between periods of paid work and periods of study. A common arrangement is for students to get day release from their work to attend college one or two days a week over several years. Some students do a formal apprenticeship, learning their skills on the job and attending college part-time.The British government is keen to persuade more young people to remain in education as long as possible in order to build up a workforce that is well educated and has better skills.Extra ExamplesNot all the lecturers are in college at any one time. 不是所有的讲师都会在同一个时间在学院。 She's at college in Swindon. 她在斯文登念大学。 The college runs a course for would-be arts administrators. 该学院为未来的艺术品管理者开设培训课程。 a college of education 教育学院 The whole college was shocked to hear the news. 听到这个消息，整个学院都震惊了。 When I left school I went to secretarial college. 中学毕业后我去读了文秘职业学校。
