Passage 4
All over the world mention of English education suggests a picture of the “public schools’, and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions—Eton college, Harrow school and Winchester college; but people do not always realize what place these institutions occupy in the whole educational system.
Eton is the best known of the public schools, which, in spite of their name, are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of 13 to 18 years. In presenting an overall picture of English education it would be reasonable to concentrate on the state system alone and refer briefly to the public schools. The public schools in reality form 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, although the public schools are not important numerically, they have been England’s most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods, and they have an immerse influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure. For a hundred years most men in leading positions in banking, insurance, high finance, some industries, the army, the church and conservative politics have been educated at public schools.
