I got inspired by the star cult group to make this thread to discuss different school systems in different countries!
In the Netherlands its as following:
Preschool/kindergarten does exist here, you go there from basically 3 till 4
Then on the day you turn 4 you go to primary school, in which you stay until you are 12, it’s 8 years.
Then there is high school, but we’ve got 3 different types to make it complicated.
MAVO > 4 years, practical
HAVO > 5 years, more or less combination
VWO/gymnasium > 6 years, theocratic
Then after those 4/5/6 you can continue your education. When you did MAVO you can do vocational education. If you did HAVO it’s basically a level higher but basically studying but just not academic. When you did VWO you can go to university…
Kindergarten: Lasts for two years (4 - 5 years old)
Primary school: Lasts from prep to year 6 (5/6 - 11/12 years old)
High school: Lasts from year 7 to year 12 (12/13 - 17/18 years old)
