Vocational Education.
After school children in Russia have a wide choice of educational institutions where they can obtain vocational education, whose aim is to train qualified workers.
After graduating grade 9 or 11, children can enter a technical school or college. There is one feature: if children enter a college or technical school after grade 11, their training will take shorter time, as they have already completed a program of general secondary education at grades 10 and 11.
