This gives parents the opportunity to pursue their jobs. Parents can choose between public and private kindergartens. There are also some <strong>international bilingual nurseries and kindergartens.<\/strong> <br \/><br \/><strong>Compulsory schooling begins at the age of 6 years and lasts nine years<\/strong>. The first four years are the elementary level. One bilingual elementary school is situated in St. P\u00f6lten. Afterwards pupils can attend a grammar school (\u2018Neue Mittelschule\u2019) or a general secondary school (\u2018AHS\u2019). At this level languages, in particular, are an essential part of the curriculum. Then, at the age of 14, pupils can choose from a variety of options: from polytechnic-like colleges leading to a subsequent apprenticeship, through to a vocational secondary school or a more academic high school \u2013 the last two pathways conclude with final exams that provide an entry ticket to a university or tertiary education. <br \/><br \/>The tertiary education sector in Lower Austria has developed significantly over the past two decades. It comprises <strong>four universities of applied sciences, four private universities, two teaching colleges<\/strong> and <strong>three theological seminaries.<\/strong> There are numerous study programmes taught in English.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1b53634 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1b53634\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-48b655a\" data-id=\"48b655a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9337758 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"9337758\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c3c225e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c3c225e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-aea16a1\" data-id=\"aea16a1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f20aa53 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"f20aa53\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\tOur children are 8 and 13 years old.

Beginning with the 7th school year, NMS pupils pursue advanced lessons in German, math and foreign language (similar to AHSs) or they receive basic instruction, depending upon each pupil\u2019s interests and career goals.<\/p><p><strong>General high school<\/strong>\u00a0(<em>Allgemein bildende h\u00f6here Schule\/AHS<\/em>)<br \/>An AHS provides comprehensive and immersive education for pupils who plan to continue education at an academic level.

Commonly referred to as\u00a0<em>Gymnasium<\/em>, an AHS consists of a four-year lower level (5th through 8th school years) and a four-year upper level (9th through 12th\/13th school years).

In the VET program, pupils spend 80% of their time being trained at a company. The remaining 20% is devoted to deepening their general education and acquiring work-relevant theoretical knowledge at a vocational school. The apprenticeship training typically lasts two to four years. It concludes with a practical apprenticeship-leaving examination.

Admission prerequisites include 10 years of schooling and the successful completion of an admission interview and\/or test. The schools usually cooperate with hospitals, which provide vocational education. At the end of the training, pupils write a thesis and take a diploma exam. Qualified nurses can take up employment, take the higher education entrance examination (<em>Berufsreifepru\u0308fung<\/em>), or complete advanced training to prepare for leadership roles, or to specialize in children\u2019s\/youth care or psychiatric health.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>School for higher vocational education<\/strong><br \/>Another vocational training option is a five-year school for higher vocational education (<em>Berufsbildende h\u00f6here Schule<\/em>, or <em>BHS<\/em>). The BHS offers higher-level vocational training plus a comprehensive general education. These differ by specialization. <br \/>The Higher Technical Education Institute (<em>H\u00f6here technische Lehranstalt<\/em>, or <em>HTL<\/em>) specializes in technology, engineering or industrial design.

The Higher Economic Education Institute (<em>H\u00f6here Lehranstalt fu\u0308r wirtschaftliche Berufe<\/em>, or <em>HLW<\/em>) focuses on economics, communication, design and fashion, tourism, nutrition and administration.
