Maktab bosqichlari o‘ttiz olti (36) ta ketma-ket o‘quv muddatidan iborat bo‘lib, har biri sakson uch (83) kundan iborat. Har bir o‘quv muddatiga muayyan guruh o‘quv birliklari belgilangan. Talaba birinchi muddat bilan maktab bosqichlarini boshlaydi. U kursni muvaffaqiyatli tamomlagach, keyingisiga o‘tkaziladi va o‘ttiz olti muddatning barchasini muvaffaqiyatli yakunlab, maktab bosqichlarini tugatguncha shu tartibda davom etadi. Hijriy yil davriy jihatdan teng to‘rt o‘quv muddatiga bo‘linadi, har bir muddat orasida talabalar uchun uch (3) kunlik ta’til oralig‘i bo‘ladi. Quyidagi jadvalda har bir muddatning boshlanish va tugash sanalari hamda kurslarni ajratib turuvchi ta’til oraliqlari ko‘rsatilgan:

School stages are composed of thirty-six (36) consecutive terms, each being eighty-three (83) days. Each term is assigned a group of teaching units. The student commences school stages with the first term. He is promoted upon succeeding in a course to the next one until he completes the school stages by successfully completing all thirty-six terms. The Hijri year is divided into four periodically equal terms, with a student holiday break interval of three (3) days between each term. The following chart demonstrates the commencement and completion dates of each term, and the break intervals separating the courses:

Bola Hijriy taqvim bo‘yicha olti yoshni to‘ldirgan zahoti maktabga kiradi. Shunga ko‘ra, davlat maktablari yilning to‘rt o‘quv choragining har birining boshida, ya’ni taxminan har uch oyda yangi o‘quvchilarni qabul qiladi. Bola yilning mavjud to‘rt choragidan, Hijriy taqvim bo‘yicha olti yoshga to‘lishiga eng yaqin bo‘lgan birinchi choragiga kirishi mumkin.

The child enters school immediately upon completing six years of age according to the Hijri calendar. Accordingly, State schools will accept new students at the beginning of each school term of the four terms of each year i.e. approximately every three months. The child is able to enter the first school term (of the four available in the year) nearest to his attaining six years of age according to the Hijri calendar.

Talaba har uch ketma-ket o‘quv muddatidan keyin, kamida shunday, bir o‘quv muddati dam olishi mumkin, lekin u bunday dam olishsiz ham o‘qishini davom ettirishi mumkin. Shunday qilib, tizim jiddiy talabaga maktab bosqichlarini o‘z tengdoshlaridan qisqaroq vaqtda tugatish imkonini beradi: u o‘quv muddatlari ichida muvaffaqiyatli o‘qishni davom ettiradi, dam olish davrlarini olmaydi yoki ularni qisqartiradi. O‘qish vaqti birligi 83 kundan iborat o‘quv muddati bo‘lib, yillik o‘quv yili emas; har bir muddatning o‘z fan o‘quv dasturi va o‘quvchilari bor.

The student can rest one school term only after every three consecutive terms at the least, but he can also continue his study without any such rest. Thus the system enables the serious student to complete the school stages in a shorter time than his contemporaries by continuing his studies within the school terms successfully without taking the rest periods or reducing them. The study time unit is the school term which is composed of 83 days and not the annual year; each term has its own subject curriculum and students.

Muvaffaqiyatli ravishda, hech qanday ta'tilsiz o'quv choraklarini davom ettirgan talaba o'ttiz oltita choraknı to'qqiz yilda (36/4=9 yil) tugallashi mumkin, shunda u o'n besh yoshga to'lganda maktab bosqichlarini tugallagan bo'ladi. Agar u o'ttiz oltita choraknı yiliga o'rtacha atigi uch o'quv choragi bilan o'qisa, ya'ni odatda har uch ketma-ket choraqdan keyin bir o'quv choragini dam olish bilan, barcha choraklarni muvaffaqiyatli tugallash bilan birga, u maktab bosqichlarini o'n ikki yilda (36/3=12 yil) tugallaydi, shunda u o'n sakkiz yoshga yetganda maktab bosqichlarini tugallagan bo'ladi.

The student who continues his school terms successfully without taking any leave can complete thirty-six terms in nine years (36/4=9 years) whereupon he would have completed the school stages upon completing 15 years of age. If he studies the thirty-six terms at an average of only three school terms every year i.e. by usually resting one school term after every three consecutive terms, together with successfully completing all terms, he would complete the school stages in twelve years (36/3=12 years) whereupon he would complete the school stages upon attaining 18 years of age.
