Belarusian education is
well-appreciated and valued in the world so many foreign students want to
receive training there. The educational system of the country is rather
developed and comprises of pre-school, school and further education.
Almost 70% of children
start attending nursery before going to school. This stage is not compulsory,
but is recommended.
School education starts at
the age of 6 and lasts for about ten years. This education is compulsory and
children have to follow basic curriculum.
When the secondary school
is over, children receive a certificate of general education completion. At the
age of 15 they are free to choose their further education. Some wish to serve
in the military or join the workforce. Others continue studying at vocational
schools or go for a higher education.
There are two official
languages in Belarusian system of education: Russian and Belarusian.
There are over 50 Higher
Education institutions throughout the country. Most of them are state-owned.
Higher education is considered to be prestigious due to its high quality and
affordability. That’s why most teenagers wish to continue studies after they
finish school. The courses usually run for four or five years and provided
either full-time or by correspondence. Gifted students have a chance to receive
a scholarship or grant.
Vocational schools are
another post-school option. They offer refresher courses and retraining
opportunities, which last for three years.
The most venerable
institution in the country is, of course, the Belarusian State University.
