The Scottish education system is different than that in the rest of the United Kingdom.
If you are asking about school education, then the primary schools follow what is called the 5-14 curriculum giving primary school pupils (ages 5-12) a good base of knowledge, preparing them for secondary school.
The first two years in secondary school is similar to that of their last primary years, although pupils will make a slight progression in diffuculty and workload.
As seconday school pupils move into their 3rd and 4th years at secondary school, this is where they will face their first formal examinations, called standard grades. In the standard grades, pupils chose up to 8 subjects to study over two years and sit their final exams at the end of their 4th year. Pupils can then leave school if they meet the right age requirements.
In 5th and 6th year, pupils study for higher and advanced higher, which are much more demanding. 5th years may do up to 5 higher and then a further 5 in 6th year, or they may chose to study advanced highers in 6th year, which are somewhat equivalent to first year university studies.
After 6th year, pupils can progress onto college or university, depending on examination results and preference.

Should you go to Scotland or England?
If you go to Scotland it has a lot more beauty and if you are interested in walking, Scotland has a lot of walks. on the other hand England has better weather (but you can get good weather in Scotland too) and if you are English yourself then you probably wont understand what the Scottish are saying, when English say 'why' the Scottish actually say 'how'. in England it is more about the buses, in Scotland they prefer trains. England and Scotland have different education times, in Scotland you get categorised into your classes from Jan - DEC in England its around July - June ( i think, somewhere around that area) so you might want to take that into consideration. my mum nd dad wanted to move from Scotland to England so i no the differences between the two.
