¿Están seguros de que significa lo mismo en inglés británico?

 

[SmallJosie]

Public/Private School es Colegio Privado (en UK).
State School es Colegio Público.

 

[Poochini]

Si, seguro...es lo mismo para los 2

 

[borgonyon]

You serious, Josie? I would have never thought it would be that way! Thanks a bunch!

 

[SmallJosie]

Absolutely serious, borgonyon. Weird but wonderful

 

[Niñacandela]

Muchas gracias!!

Although it's still sort of weird to me, is the reasoning behind it like this:

Private sector = the public at large

Public sector = the state

 

[Poochini]

I didn´t know that...sorry!
nice to knoww..

 

[SmallJosie]

DC Paco, I'm not sure why a public school is a private school but that's the way it is in the UK. A State school is called that because it is funded by the State, i.e. the Government.

 

[futura traductore]

They can also be called State Schools ( Colegio Público) and Independent Schools (colegio Pirvado). The first ones are run by the State and the second ones run themselves and that is why they are called Independent Schools. I'm studying it right know at University And yes, Public Schools are what we call Colegios Privados here in Spain...
Hope it helps you...

 

[futura traductore]

or State-funded schools and fee-paying independent schools. Para aclarar...

 

[Brisingr]

According to The Big Oxford Dictionary (one of the best in the world):

In UK= Private school -- escuela pública
= Public school -- colegio privado ( En Inglaterra y Gales, un colegio privado para alumnos de edades comprendidas entre 13 y 18 años. En escocia y Estados Unidos se usa este término para designar el colegio público)

 

[Cornelius71]

Public bar = "pub", negocio privado. Un negocio privado abierto al público; al público que paga, of course. En el Reino Unido se usa casi exclusivamente "public school" para referirse a los colegios privados, casi nunca se usa "private school". La expresión "public school boy" es toda una institución, puede equivaler al pijo repelente en España.
