The educational system in the Netherlands consists of kindergarten (ages 2-3), primary education (ages 4-12), and secondary education. Secondary education has several paths including VMBO (4 years), HAVO (5 years), and VWO (6 years). Students can then pursue MBO (vocational education, 4 years), HBO (university of applied sciences, bachelor's degree, 4 years), or WO (research university, bachelor's degree is 3 years and master's/doctorate degrees are 2-3 years/1 year respectively). Primary education is partly paid for by the government and compulsory, while post-secondary options are partly paid for but not compulsory.
