EDUCATION IN RUSSIA
In Russian Federation the school education is compulsory. Pupils begin to go to school at the age of six or seven. In our country there is a nine-year compulsory education. After the 9th form pupils can either continue to study at school for 2 more years, or go to a professional school where they acquire some specific skills. When school pupils leave school they can continue their education in institutes or universities.
Public educational system in our country incorporates pre-school, general secondary school which consists of primary, middle and upper stages and finally higher education.
Pre-schools consist of kindergartens where children learn reading, writing and arithmetic. But pre-school education isn't compulsory - children can get it at home.
Compulsory education is for children from 6 (7) to 17 years of age. There are various types of schools. Alongside with state schools where education is free of charge there appeared many private schools, colleges, lyceums, gymnasiums, schools with extended learning of certain subjects and different courses where students can study sciences and humanities including foreign languages.
A person, who finishes the general secondary school, receives a secondary education certificate, which gives the right to enter any higher educational establishment.
Among higher educational institutions there are universities, academies and schools of higher education where the course of studies is normally 5 years. Higher education institutions train students in one or several specializations. After a five-year programme one can start postgraduate studies. Having written a thesis, he or she receives the candidate degree, corresponding to master's degree or doctoral degree.
At some schools the leavers are sent abroad to continue their education at Sorbonne in Paris, at the Universities of Great Britain, Germany, USA and other countries.
After graduating from those Universities they return to their country to work in different fields of national economy.
