Secondary education

Education between primary and higher education

Secondary education or post-primary education covers two phases on the International Standard Classification of Education scale: Level 2 (lower secondary education, less commonly junior secondary education) is the second and final phase of basic education, and Level 3 (upper secondary education or senior secondary education) is the phase immediately preceding tertiary education. Every country aims to provide basic education, but systems and terminology remain unique to each country. Secondary education typically takes place after six years of primary education and is followed by higher education, vocational education or employment.
