Abstract
The question of education often represents a core issue in the political programmes of democratic governments, since education and training are commonly thought to be essential aspects that contribute to qualify a society as democratic and free. Even in Anglo-Saxon countries, education traditionally functions as one of the most significant driving forces behind personal development and capabilities. This paper aims at addressing only some of the many features of the education systems currently adopted in the United Kingdom (particularly, in England) and the United States, mainly focusing, after a brief overview on the two systems, on primary and secondary education, on the current political trends and on future perspectives.[...]I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
