All over the world mention of English education suggests a picture of the public schools, and it suggests in particular the name like Eton. Actually Eton is a public school. And the best known of the public: schools are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years. The public schools in reality form is a very small part of the whole system of secondary, education; only about one out of forty English boys goes to a public school, and one out of 1,500 goes to Eton. However it is still true that if an English parents have enough money to pay the fees to send their children to an independent school they will most probably do so.
