Primary and secondary education in Poland

Kids in the photo are in a kindergarten. They will stay there until they are seven.
Pupils of 7-12 attend primary school .In the lower grades one teacher teaches all subjects, while in the higher grades each subject has a different teacher and usually pupils change classroom for each subject.

After completing primary school pupils go to secondary school, called "gimnazjum". General secondary schools provide students with general education.
