All pupils start at elementary school (1st to 8th form) and after 4th form they can decide whether to stay or transfer to an eight-form grammar school. This possibility is offered again after 6th form as a transfer to a six-form grammar school, and many talented and academically advanced children take this opportunity. When pupils finish elementary school, they can enroll into vocational schools, where they are taught practical skills needed to perform a particular job, like carpentry, gardening, etc. These schools give certificate but pupils are not prepared for the school-leaving exam that is required to enter higher education. If someone would like to learn or enroll into higher education afterwards, the best choice for them is the secondary vocational school offering tuition in both practical and academic skills.
