{{main|Education in Lincolnshire}}
Lincolnshire is one of the few counties in the UK that still uses the [[eleven-plus]] to decide who may attend [[grammar schools in the United Kingdom|grammar school]]. As a result, many towns in Lincolnshire have both a grammar school and a [[secondary modern school]]. Lincolnshire's rural character means that some larger villages also have primary schools and are served by buses to nearby high schools.

Lincoln itself, however, is primarily non-selective, as is the area within a radius of about seven miles. In this area, almost all children attend [[comprehensive school]]s, though it is still possible to opt into the eleven-plus system. This gives rise to the unusual result that those who pass the eleven-plus can attend a grammar school outside the Lincoln comprehensive area, but those who do not pass still attend a (partly non-selective) comprehensive school.

Lincolnshire is also home of [[University of Lincoln]].
