 SCHEDULE

Education plays a vital role in people's lives. It is aimed to prepare

people physically, mentally and socially for the world of everyday
life and work.
The school year begins in September and finishes in May. The school
year is divided into four terms called quarters. Each quarter is
followed by holidays for two weeks.
Lessons usually last for 45 minutes and there are breaks between
them so students can have lunch or just relax.
The scale of evaluation exists in the system of education. It helps to
see the level of pupil's knowledge and consider the perspective of
their future activity. Parents receive regular information about the
progress in studying of their child.
