1. In Great Britain, children typically start primary school at the age of 4 or 5, depending on their birthdate and local school admission policies.

2. The percentage of children attending comprehensive schools in Great Britain can vary by region and over time, but comprehensive schools are designed to be non-selective and aim to provide education for all children within a given catchment area. This means that the majority of children may attend comprehensive schools, although the exact percentage can change.

3. Various types of schools in Great Britain prepare children for university, including comprehensive schools, grammar schools (which are selective), and private/independent schools. The type of school a child attends may depend on factors such as location, entrance requirements, and parental choice.

4. O-level exams have been largely replaced by General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams in Great Britain. GCSEs are typically taken by students around the age of 16.

5. After completing A-level exams (usually taken at around age 18), students who want to enter a university in the UK typically apply through the UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) system. They select their preferred universities and courses, submit their grades and personal statements, and go through the university admissions process.

6. The duration of a degree program in the UK varies depending on the course of study and university. A typical undergraduate degree program in the UK is three years for most subjects. However, some programs, such as medical degrees, may be longer.

7. Students in the UK typically graduate from university at around the age of 21 or 22, depending on when they started their degree program and its duration.

8. Some famous public schools in Great Britain include Eton College, Harrow School, Winchester College, and Rugby School. These schools are known for their long history, prestigious reputation, and often cater to the elite or privileged students. Please note that the term "public school" in the UK refers to private, fee-paying schools, which can be confusing for those from other countries where "public school" means a government-funded school.
