A full-time high school is an ordinary day school. Those who work in the
daytime may go to a part-time school at night or enroll in a correspondence
school. The number of part-time and correspondence school is very small

or specialist courses such as a commerce course or a agricultural course.The
general course is designed primarily for general education. Our school
