The right to education in Ukraine is guaranteed by the Constitution (Article 53). Every boy or girl must get secondary education; it means that secondary education is compulsory in our country. There are state schools where education is free of charge and private primary and- secondary schools where pupils have to pay for their studies.
Every school has a core curriculum and a school curriculum. The core curriculum includes Ukrainian, Ukrainian Literature, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, World Literature, a Foreign Language and others. As each citizen of Ukraine has the right to get secondary education in the mother tongue, there are schools for national minorities in which pupils study their native language. In most of them all the school subjects are taught in that language.
After finishing the 9th form of a secondary school young peojjle can go to the 10th form or to a vocational or technical school. The kinds of secondary educational establishments are lyceums and gymnasiums. They offer programmes giving a profound knowledge in some field of study. After getting secondary education a school-leaver can start working or enter an institute, an academy or a university. Many academies and universities have evening and extramural departments.
