The first school that children can attend is a nursery school which is for children from the first year of live to the age of 3. It is followed by a kindergarten. These forms of schools are not so necessary but are useful for children’s social, ethics´ and knowledge’s´ development. As one of the biggest days in one’s life is considered the first day in the elementary school. This day begins the compulsory (povinná) school attendance- in Slovakia at the age of 6-15. In Slovakia primary school is divided into 2 grades. In the first grade children learn to read, write and count. Later are these basic skills expanded by the fundamentals (základy) of natural sciences, History and Geography. In the second grade the pupils start with more wide-spread subjects. In both UK and USA most children go to public schools (provided by the government), some to the private schools (parents pay for them).

There are many kinds of secondary schools such as grammar school (gymnázium), various types of secondary technical schools, vocational schools (odborná škola) and apprentice centres (učňovky). At the most secondary schools study lasts 4 years. At the end of the 4th year in May students must pass the graduation exam (maturita) which usually consists of oral and written part. Students get a week off for preparation on it. You are examined from 4 subjects, the Slovak language is obligatory, while the other subjects are selected by the student. Then you have 15 minutes for preparation and 15 minutes for answering your task. You can be rated from 1-5. 1 is the best you can get, 5 is the worst and at the maturita exam it means you have failed.

Many students want to continue theirs studies at the universities. There is a big choice – business, medical, law, technical schools.. You have to pass the entrance examination at first. The universities have various levels, the 1st is the bachelor’s degree. After successful accomplishment of the following study, students are given a degree in their field of study. One school year lasts about 10 months (September – June) and is divided into 2 terms (September – January, February – June), in July and August students have summer holiday. On primary and secondary schools there are also spring, winter and autumn and Easter holidays. For each day there is a various timetable. The most common subjects in the Slovak schools are Slovak language, English, German, Maths, Geography, Biology, PE (telesná výchova)… Between single lessons students have a break. Lessons in Slovakia begin at 8 o’clock, in Britain at 9 o’clock. 

The student’s life is very individual. Of course his/her school activities are not finished after the school. He hat to do his homework and prepare for some eventual oral answers. On the other hand, he should find some free time for his hobbies and friends. During summer holidays a lot of them are searching for a part-time job to earn some money. In Britain there is also increasing number of school-leavers who take a gap between school and university. It can be a good chance to experience some adventure, to travel or to earn some money as well as to develop maturity and independence.

Knowledge of foreign language is nowadays one of the most important skills not only when taking holidays abroad, but first of all in a professional branch. Knowledge of a foreign language is many times very necessary part of a job interview, mark of a professional growth and it is also an important source of new information from the cultural, science and technical range. The best way is studying abroad indeed. You can go to an exchange residence abroad, to take a language course or to care about the children as an au pair, which is very favourite with Slovak girls.

The purpose of education is not only to improve knowledge of children, but also to develop their moral and ethic qualities. In schools various rules must be followed. For example students must not disturb the teacher or the other students during the lesson, he should come at least 10 minutes before the school starts, he mustn’t eat during the lesson, run through the halls… In some schools wearing school uniforms is obligatory. Relation between a student and a teacher should be fair and not hostile (nepriateľský). Teachers should be tolerant, democratic, helpful, but strict too. On the other hand, students should be polite and obedient (poslušný) not rude or arrogant. People should go to school with joy and pleasure. In the case the have a negative approach to the school, it can be a big barrier on the way to their right education.
