How the education pathway works
The stage map reflects the two-cycle primary structure, secondary pathways and the split between university and applied tertiary study.

|---|---|---|
| Grades 1 to 8 | Primary | Primary education includes two four-grade cycles. |
| General and vocational secondary | Secondary | Secondary education follows completion of primary school. |
| Academies and higher schools | Applied higher study | Applied-study institutions form part of tertiary education. |
| University education | University | Public and private universities provide academic tertiary study. |

How to read the Serbia evidence
The 210,050 university total excludes students in academies and higher schools of applied studies, which are reported separately by the Statistical Office.
The page therefore does not add the university count to other tertiary sectors to create an unsupported total.
