He added that it is necessary to find the necessary solutions so that the 12-year school education is convenient and effective for children, teachers and parents.

According to the explanatory note, primary education lasts four years, secondary education obtained in the gymnasium – five years, specialized secondary education will take another three years – must be obtained in a lyceum or vocational educational institutions.
