The working on aplication of preschool education is being planned fast and the number of the students of preschool education are increasing each year. The student who finishes the first 4 can go to any other seconday school but at the end of the second 4, the student enters an exam. So, the student goes to one of the high school with the points of the high school. Most of the high schools get the students with an exam, but few of them get the students without exam. **
