         <description><![CDATA[<div>In the Netherlands, there is no unified system of preschool education. This is due to the fact that children go to school quite early, starting from the age of four. Up to this age, parents can bring their children to care centers or private kindergartens. Care centers, where children's leisure activities are organized from the age of 3 months, can be an alternative to extended day groups for schoolchildren. In such establishments there is no hot food, but snacks with fruit and sandwiches are organized.</div>]]></description>

Only from the third grade do children begin to learn the basics of writing, reading, counting, and natural science. Homework starts to be set only from the 6th grade.  Primary education in the Netherlands is primarily about developing children's communication and teamwork skills, learning about the world around them through play and interesting experiments.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Universities in the Netherlands are divided into <strong>three types</strong>:<br> – research universities, where the learning process is focused on scientific work, which is based on theoretical and practical research;<br>– universities of applied sciences, which assume at the very beginning the choice of a profession and a specific training program;<br>– universities of international education, which are designed to train foreign students.<br>The cost of higher education in the Netherlands is low, especially in comparison with other European universities. For students from the European Union, the Dutch government provides scholarships for study and almost completely compensates for the cost of education. For other students, the cost of studying in the bachelor's degree will be from 5, 8 thousand euros per year.<br>The convenient location of Holland allows students to actively travel, get acquainted with European culture and combine education with comprehensive development.</div>]]></description>
