It is rather difficult theme for me: Education in Russia. What do u think about it? Education in Russia No doubt, education is very important in our modern life. One of the way to be educated is study at school. Everyone in Russia have the right to education which is guaranteed by the Constitution. But it isn’t only a right, education is compulsory. So children at the age of seven begin going to school. First they study at the elementary school. Children get the elementary education, they learn to read, write and count. The elementary school is the first stage of education for grades one through four. The second is secondary school for grades five through nine. Children begin learning different subjects, such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computing, Geography, Algebra, Foreign Languages and so on. After finishing 9 classes of the secondary school the young people have to decide either to continue their studies in the tenth and eleventh forms at a general secondary school, either to enter in a specialized secondary or vocational school. Each of these choices has their own advantages. If young man finish school and enter in a specialized secondary or vocational school, he learn general subjects and receive a speciality there. Having finished this school, young people are educated and can start working. They can earlier become independent, have their own life. But on the other side if young man continue their studies in the tenth and eleventh forms at a general secondary school, he may enter institute or university to get the higher education. Today having higher education for many people means have a good job and much money. In my opinion to study is rather hard work, but nowadays highly skilled and educated specialist more successful and demander in our world .
