The citizens of Russia have a right to receive the education which is guaranteed in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Education is ensured by compulsory secondary schools, vocational schools, and higher education establishments. It is also ensured by the development of extramural and evening courses, as well as the system of state scholarships and grants.

Education in Russia is compulsory up to the 9th form inclusive. The stages of compulsory schooling are a primary education for ages 6–9, followed by a senior school for ages 10–15.
