Polish children begin the education in the primary school (szkoła podstawowa) when they reach the age of six or seven years. They attend there until they are twelve years old. Next they attend the lower secondary school (gimnazjum) for three years. Lowe secondary school is obligatory for every child, there aren't any enterance exams. The exam at sixth class of the primary school (which is the last class at this stage of education) is a kind of inside exam.
