How long must students in Russia attend school?

Answer 1

Schools in Russia give students the general education. Schools which give only the standard course of general education , are called simply " high schools " or secondary school. Schools that provide deep knowledge in specific subjects are named differently ( "school with subjects ", " lycée " or "high school " ,"gymnasium").

Education in public schools (including schools with subjects ) is officially free . Currently a full course of study in Russian schools is 11 years.

School course is divided into three stages , officially referred to as " elementary school ", " primary school " and " high school ."

• I- phase ( primary general education ) - 4 years;

• II - stage ( basic general education ) - 5 years ;

• III - stage ( secondary (complete ) general education ) - 2 years .
