In Russia there are currently several types of schools, both public and private ones. Parents can optionally send their children to a gymnasium, lyceum or private school. Sometimes, when entering such educational institutions, children must take tests or exams. The standard of education is common to all schools, but schools themselves can choose teaching methods and textbooks. As a rule, before school, children go to nurseries and kindergartens, where they acquire teamwork skills, which makes studying at school easier.
