Children in Slovenia start going to school when they are 6 years old and stay there for nine years. After nine years of primary education they go to secondary school. In our country primary school is compulsory but the secondary school is optional. The students stay in secondary school for three or four years. Secondary schools are usually in bigger towns, so children have to take a bus or a train, if they live far away from these towns. We also have dormitories, where students can stay if they live far away from their home. After secondary school most students go to university. Some students continue with their study abroad. In secondary school and university you can get a scholarship if you're a talented pupil or a student.
