It is essential that everyone should get the best education that is possible and today’s children are given every opportunity to do well and get a good job. Teachers no longer teach by shouting and caning naughty pupils as they used to do, the style of teaching is all together different. No longer are pupils expected to sit silently at their desks working, schools try to make lessons enjoyable and teach by getting everyone involved in certain projects. Computers are now a big part of education and children will start to learn how to use computers when first starting at the Infant School. Classrooms are bright and colourful with good lighting not dark and dismal like they were over fifty years ago. Because of the importance of computers in schools, particularly for older children studying for exams, it is essential that an (unbroken power supply (Unterbrechungsfreie Stromversorgung) is maintained. Most schools will have an emergency generator (notstromaggregat) as back up in case the power fails.
Schools have completely changed over the past 50 years and the teaching system is much better. No longer do children need to pass an exam at 11 years old to be able to take O level exams and A level exams this chance is available to every child at 15 years old which is so much fairer. The old system meant that any child not passing an exam at 11 years old went on to a Secondary Modern School, left school at 15 years old and never got the opportunity to take any other exams. They were just written off at 11 years old as not very bright. Today with the Comprehensive School system children who might not be doing very well at 11 years old can very often develop later and are able to take further exams. Teachers are a lot more friendly and don’t control a class of children by fear.
The need for an unbroken power supply (unterbrechungsfreie stromversorgungen) is a must for all schools to keep them running at all times so having an emergency generator (notstromaggregat) is something that nearly all schools will have. The risk of computers and other technical equipment breaking down should the power go off could have long term effects on the education of the children. A big percentage of children these days will take their O level exams and A level exams and move onto further education either at a College or University. Certain Universities specialize in particular subjects where it will take at least three years for a student to graduate with a good degree. Many of the students might be studying IT so again it is important for any College or University to maintain an unbroken power supply (unterbrechungsfreie stromversorgungen) and have an emergency generator (notstromaggregat) in case the electricity goes off.
