Russia is among the world's most educated countries, and has the sixth-highest proportion of tertiary-level graduates in terms of percentage of population, at 62.1%.[492] It spent roughly 4.7% of its GDP on education in 2018.[493] Russia's pre-school education system is highly developed and optional,[494] some four-fifths of children aged 3 to 6 attend day nurseries or kindergartens. Primary school is compulsory for eleven years, starting from age 6 to 7, and leads to a basic general education certificate.[490] An additional two or three years of schooling are required for the secondary-level certificate, and some seven-eighths of Russians continue their education past this level.[495] Admission to an institute of higher education is selective and highly competitive:[491] first-degree courses usually take five years.[495] The oldest and largest universities in Russia are Moscow State University and Saint Petersburg State University.[496] There are ten highly prestigious federal universities across the country. Russia was the world's fifth-leading destination for international students in 2019, hosting roughly 300 thousand.[497] HealthMain article: Healthcare in Russia Metallurg, a Soviet-era sanatorium in Sochi[498] Russia, by constitution, guarantees free, universal health care for all Russian citizens, through a compulsory state health insurance program.[499] The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation oversees the Russian public healthcare system, and the sector employs more than two million people.
