Education in Estonia

The education is very important for the development of a person. The education influences such important decision like the choice of career. The education in Estonia begins with 3-4 years, at this age children can go to a kindergarten.

The school begins with 7 years. In Estonia are usual state and private schools. It is a serious problem for the parents to decide, which school their child should attend. The quality of the education in state schools is not always so good.

During three or four years a child goes to the primary school where he studies only simple subjects, like mathematics and reading, for example. Then the middle school begins, the list of the subjects is enlarged.

The primary school and the middle school last up to 12 years, but already after 9 years children can go to a college. If a pupil wants to go on the university, he must attend the school for three years more.

I think that to be a teacher is a very hard work. He must to do a lot and sometimes in classes are students who can not sit quietly. I hope that in the future it will be better. If in Estonia we will have the system like in USA for example, where student can choose lessons what he/her want to study, it may be better, but not for all of us. Now you cannot to know what you will do in the future, which knowledge you will need. So, it is better to teach all. 

I am not sure, but I think that in Estonia we have the best way in education.
