Most of them are public, we have different kinds of schools, depending on your grades in the 4th class you go to a school you end after 9th, 10th or 13th class
Only the 13 year system allows you to go study on university
The system is very fluid tho and there are lots of 3rd ways to get your permission to study anyways

I like how they’re like “let’s just use stars”

Also having to choose a major before you even apply is sucky

To allow the examinor the choice of whether or not the pupil feels helpless or so close to success

the examiner doesn’t decide
it’s fucking objective and based on maths

that’s only for A-Levels, which use a different grading system to the rest of the education system

It goes Nursery (Kindergarten) > Primary School (Like, ages 6 > 11) > High School (Age 11 > 15/16/17) > College > University

I haven’t been to college nor university so idk the ages

#45053

it’s actually not that
a college here is more like a school that is part-time and less serious that teaches more specific career stuff, and is not particularly academic
it can also refer to a sub-university in a collegiate university

Like I literally just spent upwards of two months at a “college” in Australia that went all the way down to kindergarten, I know what commonwealth nations consider colleges lmao
