British education has achieved a strong reputation for quality, and is recognised and respected around the world. The National Curriculum of England - also commonly referred to as the "UK Curriculum" or "British Curriculum" - enjoys very high popularity. According to research by The International School Consultancy, there are over 3'300 schools (as of March 2017) offering the UK curriculum making it the most demanded curriculum across all international schools around the world.
