Meanwhile in Serbia: - Before the age of 6-7 there is a KINDERGARTEN. It's not compulsory and it's not available everywhere (especially in rural areas). Usually kids with both parents working go to kindergarten. - ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is compulsory and it's divided in two parts: 1. Grades 1-4 (kids age 6-7 to 10-11) where you have one teacher for all the school subjects 2. Grades 5-8 (kids age 11-12 to 14-15) where you have different teachers for every subject. - HIGH SCHOOL is not compulsory, but more than 90% of kids continue their education in high school. It lasts 3 or 4 years (kids age 15-16 to 18-19). There are different types of high schools: 1. Gymnasium (4 years) - Offers advanced secondary education and kids who go there usually plan to go to college afterwards. 2. Specialized HS (4 years) - Learning for a specific jobs like nurse, physical therapist, chef, finance/economic technician... 3. Specialized HS (3 years) - Learning to become auto mechanic, hairdresser, cook, ceramist, waiter... - COLLEGE: You can enroll in college if you finished 4 years of HS and passed the entrance exam. Most of them last 4 years, some of them 3 years, and some even 6 years (medicine). Some students don't pay the tuition but some of them do (depending on their performance). - After college, you can continue your education and get MASTER'S DEGREE or PhD. Hope i explained that well. Personally, i didn't go to kindergarten, wen't to gymnasium after elementary school and I'm currently studying software engineering at University of Belgrade (3rd year) : )

In Malaysia it's: Pre-school/Kindergarten: 5-6 years old Primary school starts: Standard 1: 7 years old Standard 2: 8 years old Standard 3: 9 years old Standard 4: 10 years old Standard 5: 11 years old Standard 6: 12 years old Then, you have your _UPSR_ examination. (it's called Cambridge Primary Checkpoint Exam if you attend an international school) After that, secondary school starts: Form 1: 13 years old Form 2: 14 years old Form 3: 15 years old Form 1-3 known as Lower Secondary and students are called juniors. You have _PT3_ examination after Form 3. (Known as Cambridge Secondary Checkpoint in international schools) Upper Secondary starts: Form 4: 16 years old Form 5: 17 years old (Students known as seniors) Then, you have your _SPM_ examination. (known as IGCSE if you go to an international school) SPM is equivalent to a High School Diploma in America and GCSE in UK. After graduating, you can choose the local path, Form 6/STPM, or you can do A-Level(UK) or an Australian or American version. After that it's a university for a bachelor's degree and then you can start a job🤷‍♂️

Primary school: Keystage 0/foundation stage: Nursery (3-4yrs) Reception (4-5yrs) Keystage 1 Year 1 (5-6yrs) Year 2 (6-7yrs) Keystage 2 Year 3 (7-8yrs) Year 4 (8-9yrs) Year 5 (9-10yrs) Year 6 (10-11yrs) Secondary/High school: Keystage 3 Year 7 (11-12yrs) Year 8 (12-13yrs) Year 9 (13-14yrs) Keystage 4 Year 10 (14-15yrs) Year 11(15-16yrs) Sixth form or college: Keystage 5 Junior year (16-17yrs) Senior year (17-18yrs) Plus some people spend 3 or 4 years studying at university. Hope it was helpful

@frodododo 7 жыл бұрын

Britain's system: 3 years old: preschool 4 years old: reception 5: year 1 6: year 2 7. Year 3 .... 11. Year 6 Then your go into secondary school where you go through years 7-11 and finish year 11 at 16 years old. Then you can either get an apprenticeship or continue education. Now you either go through sixth form or college (although they are basically the same) with years 12 and 13, finishing at 18 years old. After this you can go to university for 2-5 years depending on your course (although it seems most spend 3-4).

Then we narrow our subject choice down to 5 subjects and proceed to 'Highers' which is a more complex/harder version of the subjects we just did the year before Then in S6 it is the same, you narrow it down to 3 subjects which you can do 'advanced Highers' you can only do advanced Highers in a subject if you have done it in higher level

PinkMarshmalloww In Argentina its something like: Kindergarten (i believe its like from 2 to 4 btw this is optional, and not mandatory) Preschool - 5 yo (from here everything it’s obligatory) Primary school - -first grade -second grade -third grade -forth grade -fifth grade -sixth grade (this is the last year of primary school, except for Buenos Aires) -seventh grade (seventh grade only exists in Buenos Aires, argentina’s capital, for the rest of the country seventh grade doesn’t exist, they directly go to secondary school) Secondary School - -First year -second year -third year (in this year, students must choose an orientation, Technical, Language, informatics, etc ((every school is obligated to at least have two orientation for their students to choose, generally you can choose between a more humanistic orientation and a more technical one)) -forth year -fifth year -sixth year (this year its only mandatory to students that passed directly from sixth grade to first year of secondary school, and in buenos aires, sometimes some technical orientations have an extra year, but you get a degree in this technical speciality. Well after secondary school you can opte to go to college thats basically the same. Also you can choose to go to the professorate ( i thinks its said like that in english, but its basically a college for teachers and professors (because they don’t actually count as university careers idk why lol) and another option its the terciario (that is something similar than university but i think its a little less complex than an actual degree. Yeah now that i think about it its kinda weird lol, but basically you have primary, secondary, and then different “colleges” options.

Key Stage 2 (lower) = Year 3 and 4 = Age 7-9. Key Stage 2 (upper) = Year 5 and 6 = Age 10-11. Key Stage 3 = Year 7 , 8 and 9 = Age 11-12 , 12-13 , 13-14. Key Stage 4 = Year 10 , 11 = Age 14-15 , 15-16. Sixth Form = Year 12 , 13 = 16-17 , 17-18. And plus here in England here is no high school! You need to look at the english system!!! And no Junior High as well!! And get a job!!! I'm in Key Stage 3 Year 7. I came to Engand, London at 2013 december. So this is my second and a half year now here in England!!

Quick explanation of uk schooling: in its utterly basics form Primary school - you leave in year 6 (eleven yrs) - you take ‘SAT’ exams in literacy and numeracy - these dictate your target grades for the end of secondary school Secondary school - you take most subjects that they offer for the first half - by yr nine (14 yrs) you pick your subjects - you HAVE to take maths, english, and science - you can usually pick up to 3 more but the limit varies from school to school - at yr 11 (16yrs) you take REAL exams called GCSES. - every other exam usually doesn’t count for anything, and Is a mock. We don’t take exams that count for anything every year - we are not allowed any cheat sheets in the exam - they are NOT just multiple choice questions - they are graded from 1-9 (9 being highest)

Gosh in New Zealand you start grade 1 when your five .grade 1-6 is primary school, 7-8 middle you’d be 12-13 normally then high school is year 9-13! And you’d still be 18 when you leave but in my case I was put up a year when I was in grade 1 because my birthday is too early in the year so when I finish I’ll be 17 also we can’t drive cars until we’re 18and You can drop out of school once your 16. I’m a year nine if your wondering and I hope this was interesting I guess😊

What about "vocational high school" in America?

@stephennagy4017 4 жыл бұрын

dwi purwaningsih this can happen is different ways here in the United States because there are ways you can do this in highschool (9-12) or in university as well. Most high schools have some form of electives that you can take in order to find things that interest you. For example this can include wood shop class where you learn how to build thing in a wood shop, astronomy classes, business entrepreneur classes, and whatever else your school offered as it varies from school to school ( I know a school that teaches you how to scuba dive). However that is also what most people go to university to do becuase that is where you take courses that are way more specialized and focused around learning about a specific area of interest and industry. After usually about 4 years people get their undergraduate degree whatever field and they can go further and study for a few more years and get masters degrees.

Some people decide to get basic required classes out of the way at a two year school like and English, foreign language, math, science, or any other classes that aren’t as specific. Then once they complete those they can go study and focus on more specifics areas.

Receive your matric certificate then apply to university (must have a B (allowed to study towards a bachelor's degree) pass or D (allowed to study towards a diploma) pass after final matric exam). Apply to college if you passed matric with D pass or H pass for a course towards getting higher certificate.

Depending on which school you choose, you can now choose between 'special' schools. Here you need to spend a couple more years, and then you are ready for a job.

Depending which state and district you can have Elementary school which is : Kindergarden-5th grade. Middle school:6th-8th grade and Highschool :9th-12th grade. University is optional but it's very helpful to have a college degree to get a good paying job. 2 year at college is an associate degree. 4 years is a bachelor(which is what most people get) 6 years is a masters And anymore than 6+ is a doctorate degree.(M.D,Ph.D,ect.)

On Brazil, it’s quite complex. It works this way: Kindergarten: “Jardim 1 and Jardim 2” or -2th grade and -1th grade. Elementary school: “Ensino Fundamental 1” or from the 1st to the 5th grade. Middle school: “Ensino Fundamental 2” or from 6th to the 9th grade. High school: “Ensino Médio” or from the 10th grade to the 14th grade.

No wonder in American movies the High schoolers use cars, we only get drivers license when we turn 18
