Do we? I always thought it was 5 years of secondary education that's mandatory (Years 7-11), then you have 2 years of further education, which is College or Sixth Form (where it is referred to as Years 12-13). I actually think that remaining in some form of education until you were 18 became a mandatory thing for the year group after mine, before that, you could leave at the end of Year 11, now you either have to go to college, or join an Apprenticeship or similar.orudge wrote:It seems you have 7 years in England though?Pilot wrote:Also, 6 years of secondary education north of the border? I find that rather interesting.
No thanks! I fail to understand how you can have 3 different types of schools for the same year, but that's America for you I guessorudge wrote:Could be worse though, could be the arguably more confusing American system!
