In Russia, there are currently several types of schools, both state-run and private. Parents can, at their discretion, send their children to a gymnasium, lyceum, or private school. Sometimes, upon admission to such educational institutions, children undergo testing or pass an exam. The educational standard is common for all schools, but schools can choose their own teaching methods and textbooks. As a rule, before school, children attend nurseries and kindergartens, where they acquire skills of working in a team, which makes learning at school easier.
