 In infant schools children don't have real classes. They get acquainted with the class - room, desks, play and learn through playing. They learn numbers and how to add them.

When the children are seven they go to junior school which they attend until eleven. Boys and girls study at junior school for four years. There they have classes, read and write, do mathematics. Then they go to secondary school.

 At secondary school pupils study English, Mathematics, Science, Geography, History, Art, Music, Foreign languages and Physical training.
