Exercise 5

Schooling in Ukraine
As a rule, schooling begins at the age of 6.
The Ukrainian educational system is organised into four levels:
primary, secondary, high school, and post-secondary education.
General secondary education is compulsory. Post-secondary
education is available in different ways. Primary and secondary
schools have three stages: Munior, basic, and senior.
Primary school comprises grades 1 to 4. Grades 5-9 are
usually referred to as ‘junior school’, while according to the
education reform 10-12 are ‘senior school’. Students usually
study in the same school building throughout their primary and
secondary education. Primary schooling lasts 4 years and basic
school 5. The middle school curriculum varies slightly between
schools. There are then 3 profile years. New types of schools
appeared: gymnasia, lycees, and private schools.
Post-secondary education is provided by vocational training
schools, universities, and institutes.
Higher (university) education gives different qualifications:
Bachelor’s, Specialist, and Master’s Degree. Higher education
is either state-funded or private. Ukraine cooperates with more
than 50 international educational organisations.
