Schooling in india

[Capricorn]

In India, schools have 12 grades, out of which, from 9th till 12th you are in high school.
In 11th you have to pick your stream(science, commerce, and humanities), to complete your schooling with that stream only.
And after the school, you can select your fields of work for your graduation in colleges.
So I am in my 1rd year of college, not in school (11th grade).
what about your country ?

In my country Nepal, School completes at 10th grade and you get SLC certificate. College starts in 11th and 12th grade and you choose a stream like Management, Science, Humanities or others.

That's how it works here in the USA too. Some classes in high school can offer college credits (i think) but college doesn't start until after grade 12 (or if you've received your GED).

Let's see, normal education would be something like this:

Primary school: 8 grades, the first two are optional; starts at age 4.
Secondary school: 4-6 grades; split into merit based levels.
Lowest level: 4 grades; students get to pick a course package with some choice in the 3rd grade. (So that's two grades of those courses.)
Middle level: 5 grades; students pick in the 4th grade. (Again, two grades.)
Highest level: 6 grades; students pick in the 4th grade. (Three years.)
Tertiary education: again divided into three levels; usually 4-5 grades; the usual way of gaining access to one of these levels is by passing the corresponding secondary school level.

Ignoring any and all sublevels, because that's what Wikipedia is for.

Unfortunately, for many years, a lot of "public education" in the US was more about socialization and the protection of the student's self esteem than it was about learning how to read with comprehension, writing clearly and coherently, and being able to perform basic mathematical tasks.

It is not an exaggeration to say that some high school students could not read their own diploma and tell you what it said. BUT! They all felt good about having gotten it.
