There are a great many public school in Great Britain,and the top three are known throughout the world for their high levels of education;Eton,Harrow and Rugby. These schools are extremely expensive,and the competition for entry is harsh. In many cases,children are registered for entry before they are even born,although entry is not guaranteed until they have passed certain examinations and interviews. Parents who fear that their children are in danger of failing the examinations send them to preparatory schools. The sole purpose of preparatory schools is to provide children with sufficient knowledge to enable them to pass the entry examinations to public schools.
