In general, the adjective "average" in Russian has two meanings:
- Located in the middle. For example, the average month of summer, the middle brother.
- Inexpressive, unremarkable. For example, the average student.
In relation to education, this term is used to determine its level. But in fact, the quality of knowledge is different in different cases.
Required level
In Russia, first of all, a secondary school provides secondary education. This is how many classes you need to study in school, so that education corresponds to this level? Necessary and constitutionally binding is the study of the school curriculum - 11 classes. The presence of secondary education is confirmed by a special certificate. It is issued upon successful completion of training. It used to be called a matriculation certificate. A student receives such a document at the end of a full course of education in high school, that is, after grade 11.
Education outside of school
If the general educational institution is not completed, the person has an incomplete secondary education. This is how many classes are behind him? Incomplete secondary education is considered as such after the end of 9 classes. If a person intends to continue training, he can enter a secondary vocational educational institution. In this case, together with the program, which is required to master the chosen profession, he will study subjects for grades 10-11. As a result, after graduating from this educational institution, the student will have not only professional, but also secondary education. This is how many classes you can save and how much earlier to get a profession, leaving after the 9th grade? Yes, there is indeed some time savings, but not so significant. Usually, you can enter any school both after the 9th and after the 11th grade. Education after the ninth is much longer than for young people who have already completed full secondary education. How many classes (years) are saved at the same time? About six months to a year. So, for example, if you go to study as a seamstress after the 9th grade, then the term of study is two and a half years, and after 11th grade - 1 year. A simple calculation reveals savings in 6 months.

Secondary general education: how many classes
In general, all education is not without reason divided into three levels. Each of them has a specific meaning. Primary school is, first of all, the socialization of man. It not only provides basic knowledge, but also teaches you to learn and fulfill the requirements. High school in Russia is a huge selection of subjects. If you conscientiously and scrupulously study all of them, at least from textbooks, the level of education will be quite high. Such a great choice is given in order to provide the student with maximum opportunities. Education in the middle link of a comprehensive school lasts five years. Two graduation classes in practice are usually preparation for a university or technical school.
Thus, in five years of middle management at school, secondary education is obtained mainly. This is how many classes and how many subjects? The number of the latter differs year by year. But you can identify several areas of study:
- humanitarian;
- natural science;
- exact sciences.
Items of all directions are present in the program of any year from the fifth to the ninth grade.
The level of education
In different educational institutions, he is very different. Some high schools are already giving a very good education. Teachers work on individual programs, students undergo selection and regularly pass exams. As a result, graduates possess high knowledge in obtaining a matriculation certificate.
In vocational schools, subjects are also taught in a comprehensive school, but its level is completely different: students are not so interested in learning, and teachers cannot give the program in full. As a result, students' knowledge of such institutions is very approximate and incomplete, although they also receive a
certificate of secondary education .
