[Serbia] School - Litt. Hist. Geo

In this topic, I would like you to talk about the school in your country, in order that my characters sound real if I write some part at school or if I talk about homework. And that's interesting to know what we learn in other countries.

1. First, I would like to know in which grad we are at which age ? And how you call the schools ? because there is different organization in the different countries.

2. I would like to know what is your program at school for Serbian class or Litterature ? Maybe you can copy me the program of you Litterature book for me to see the autors that you study or the book that your teachers ask you to read. You can do that for your grad, and hopefully many fans will come from differents grads

3. I would like to know the same for History.

4. I would like to know the same for Geography.

5. What are the languages that you can learn at school ?

1. First we go to the Primary school at 7 years. In Primary school we have eight grades. When we finish a Primary school, we have exams in mathematics and Serbian. These exams are held in all primary schools in Serbia the same day, at the same time, all doing the same exam. The maximum number of points in a single exam is 20. We also have points from the primary schools, which depend on our assessment of the school. The maximum number of points that can be the basis of the school is 60, if you have 5 (best mark in Serbia) in each subject. This means that the student can have a total of 100 points. This is followed by Secondary school, also known as high school. Depending on the points that we have in the Primary school, we can enroll a Secondary school. Secondary school lasts for three or four years, depending on where you go. Secondary schools are divided into gymnasiums (high schools), vocational schools and art schools. In secondary schools have more routes and we can choose which one we will attend. Gymnasium can be general, socio-linguistic and mathematical-nature, and education in lasts four years and it's ending with a final aptitude test (called "Matura" in Serbian). Vocational schools are divided into four-year (technical, agricultural, etc..), three-year (industry, craftsmen and others.) schools and a five-year school (medical). Vocational schools are divided into four-year (technical, Gospodarska, agricultural, etc..), Three-year (industry, craftsmen and others.) Schools and a five-year school (medical). After high school we go to some college.
I personally attended gymnasium (mathematical-nature). After graduating gymnasium, I can register any college because I have general knowledge, which is not the case with the vocational schools and art schools.


Tomorrow I will reply to other questions. I don't have time now.

Ok so thanks for all those details

I see we've got a bit the same in France, with bacalaureat that is general knowledge and the professional degree that are more specific for some job.
