We have 11 years of compulsory education.

Our primary school is similar to your elementary school, covering years 1-6.

It differs after that however:
We go to secondary school for years 7-11 and complete secondary education at age 16, whereas you graduate high school at 18.

After that there is the option of going to sixth form/college for 2 years to take A-Levels.

Once A-Levels are completed people can go to university, if they so wish.
