- After finishing the 9th form of a secondary school young people can continue their education in the 10th and 11th form. They can also go to a vocation or technical school, where they study academic subjects and receive a profession.
- English and Russian boys and girls go to a secondary school from 11 till 16 years old. They don’t go to school on Saturdays and Sundays.
- One can attend modern schools, but pupils don’t learn foreign languages at such schools.
