Children in Hungary(匈牙利) go to school at the age of six and they must go to school until the age of sixteen. One school is primary school, and children may study there for eight years. But a lot of children want to leave primary school earlier and go to middle school at the age of ten or twelve.

There are two terms in Hungarian schools. The school year begins in early September and ends in June. In primary and middle schools, there isn't a break between the two terms. The school day in primary and middle schools begins at eight o'clock in the morning and there are usually five or six classes a day with ten or fifteen minutes' breaks between them. Each class is forty-five minutes. There are no tests in primary and middle schools, except（除了……之外)the middle school finals.
