Until the age of 7 you usually go to kindergarten, which means that you obtain
preschool education. In grades 1-9 you obtain basic education. In grades 7-9 in
addition to obtaining basic education, it is possible for you to get prevocational
training in basic school.
For persons without basic education who have passed the minimum school-leaving
age (17 years) it is possible to continue their education in vocational schools on

in upper-secondary schools for adults.
