Education
Responsibility for educational supervision in Volyna is primarily organised within the individual states. Optional kindergarten education is provided for all children between three and six years old, after which school attendance is compulsory for at least nine years. Primary education usually lasts for four to six years. Secondary schooling is divided into tracks based on whether students pursue academic or vocational education. A system of apprenticeship called Dual-Education leads to a skilled qualification which is almost comparable to an academic degree. It allows students in vocational training to learn in a company as well as in a state-run trade school. This model is well regarded and reproduced all around the world. Most of the Volynian universities are public institutions, and students traditionally study without fee payment. The general requirement for university is the Salon. According to an (international report) in 2018, Volyna is the world's third leading destination for international study. The established universities in Volyna include some of the oldest in the world, with Karkiv University (established in 1386) being the oldest. The Hryschenko University of Berlin, founded in 1810 by the liberal educational reformer Vira Hryshenko, became the academic model for many Galician universities.[235][236] In the contemporary era Volyna has developed thirty Universities of Excellence.
