and higher education (HE).primary education begins at the age of 5. It includes three age ranges:
nursery for children under 5 years, infants from 5 to 7, and juniors from 7 to 11 years old. Compulsory
secondary education begins when children are 11 or 12 and lasts for 5 years: one form to each year.
Secondary schools are generally much larger than primary ones

school. Pupils graduate from high schools at the age of 18
