What do you know about education? *

Education – образование – Primary / elementary education; Children from seven till nine or ten go to a primary school. Secondary education children get at schools beginning in the fourth or fifth forms (Am. grade). They get basic secondary education after finishing the ninth form. Then they can choose the way to get secondary education: to stay at school for two years more, to enter any specialized school or college to study academic subjects plus to get a profession or to go to a vocational school also studying academic subjects and getting some trade. All three ways give the possibility to get higher education in future. When children study two years more and pass their final exams at school they get their certificates of general secondary education. Then they can go up to a university or an institute.

Students – When you pass your entrance exams you are not a student yet, but only an applicant. But when you can see your name in the list of people enrolled you begin to feel being a student a little. Then at the meeting of freshmen you get your student membership card, your student record book and your library card. But you can name yourself a real student only after the first exam session when all tests, passes and exams are in the past and you have a long-waited vacation. Sometimes there are failures. It happens when you hardly read up for your exam or cram, or crib. Some students are hard-working while the other ones play truant having no good excuse.
