Education, mostly free and state funded, is also compulsory for 10 years. Primary school covers four years, followed by another five years of basic school. Senior secondary schools offer two-year programs. Vocational secondary schools offer a four-year course of studies. Although Russian is the most common medium of instruction, other languages are also taught, especially at the secondary level. In the early 1990s, many privately owned institutions were opened, and the education system was modified with the introduction of a revised curriculum. The academic year runs from September to June.

In 2001, about 92% of children between the ages of four and five were enrolled in some type of preschool program. Primary school enrollment in 2003 was estimated at about 90% of age-eligible students. In 2001, secondary school enrollment was estimated at about 90% of all age-eligible students. It is estimated that about 93.5% of all students complete their primary education. The student-to-teacher ratio for primary school was at about 17:1 in 2003; the ratio for secondary school was about 11:1.

The St. Petersburg State University, which was founded in 1724, is well known for its education. In 2004, there were 685 state and 367 accredited nonstate higher education institutions in Russia. In 2003, about 69% of the tertiary age population were enrolled in some type of higher education program, 59% for men and 79% for women. The adult literacy rate for 2004 was estimated at about 99.4%.

As of 2003, public expenditure on education was estimated at 3.8% of GDP, or 10.7% of total government expenditures.
