Preschool education is provided through детска градинка (kindergarten) and центар за ран детски развој (early childhood development centres). It supports early learning and development but is regulated separately from the nine-year compulsory school system. A generally compulsory preschool year is a policy goal rather than an established nationwide requirement. Primary education lasts nine years, from grades 1 to 9, usually for children aged about 6 to 15. Grades 1 to 3, 4 to 6 and 7 to 9 form the main learning periods. Secondary education normally follows primary school and lasts two, three or four years depending on the program.
