Most primary schools in the city still adhere to the traditional seven-year primary school, but kids can do grades 1–6 if their high school lasts 6 years, such as [[ORT Argentina]]. Secondary education in Argentina is called ''Polimodal'' (having multiple modes) since it allows the student to choose their orientation. Polimodal is usually 3 years of schooling, although some schools have a fourth year. Before entering the first year of polimodal, students choose an orientation from the following five specializations. Some high schools depend on the [[University of Buenos Aires]], and these require an admission course when students are taking the last year of high school. These high schools are [[Instituto Libre de Segunda Enseñanza|ILSE]], [[CNBA]], [[Escuela Superior de Comercio Carlos Pellegrini]] and Escuela de Educación Técnica Profesional en Producción Agropecuaria y Agroalimentaria (School of Professional Technique Education in Agricultural and Agrifood Production). The last two do have a specific orientation. In December 2006 the [[Argentine Chamber of Deputies|Chamber of Deputies]] of the [[Argentine National Congress|Argentine Congress]] passed a new National Education Law restoring the old system of primary followed by secondary education, making secondary education obligatory and a right, and increasing the length of compulsory education to 13 years. The government vowed to put the law in effect gradually, starting in 2007.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.clarin.com/diario/2006/12/14/um/m-01327811.htm |title=Clarín article |publisher=Clarin.com |date=14 December 2006 |access-date=9 August 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090906014337/http://www.clarin.com/diario/2006/12/14/um/m-01327811.htm |archive-date=6 September 2009 |url-status=live }}</ref> There are many [[public university|public universities]] in Argentina, as well as a number of [[private university|private universities]].
