Education in Ukraine

The system of secondary education in Ukraine includes primary forms and junior and senior secondary forms.

Children usually go to school at the age of 6 or 7.

There are some pre-school institutions, like nursery schools or kindergartens, but they are not obligatory.

Primary forms comprise 1 to 4 forms.

Junior secondary forms comprise 5 to 9 forms.

After the 9th form children can enter technical schools of different types.

Those who want to enter higher edu­cational institutions should complete 10—11 forms.

Students can also enter higher educational institutions after graduating from specialized colleges or lyceums.

They prepare students in different fields, whether the humanities or the sciences.

The system of higher education is presented by universities, polytechnic institutes or specialized institutes.

Institutes train specialists for industry, agriculture and economy.

Most of them have been conferred the status of Academy or University recently.

Students are also offered post­graduate education and scientific research work.

Nowadays due to the state of our national economy not many young people are engaged in the research work.

But still in some fields of science there are outstanding discoveries and research papers.

Some universities and institutes have refresher courses.

Recently a great number of private educational establishments have appeared.

Some institutions have fee-paying groups or departments.

The students may get education there at the same high level as in the state institutions.
