    Education
    Children begin school at age 5 and attend for five years. They then move onto secondary school for four more years. If they pass the secondary school exams they go to vocational school or high school for three years. If they do not pass they go into the military or get jobs. Education is free for those twelve years. Parents must pay for textbooks, uniforms, and school supplies. Both males and females attend school The School week is Monday through Saturday. The literacy rate is 93.4% for adults and 97.1% for school age children. Children complete their homework once they get home from school Parents assign their children extra homework if they feel the teacher did not assign enough. They are ranked in order from first to last rather than receiving grades.
