The content of High school was merged into Secondary school on 2016-3-14. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

"Segunda" in Colombia (???)

Nobody in Colombia uses that expression... We use "básica secundaria" and "educación media". It looks like the person who linked "Education in Colombia" didn't bother about reading it.

England (forms)

In the table with ages and US/UK names for the age groups, reference actually calls it "Old British system" rather than "England (forms)". The reference seems more correct on this, also the table might be better if it included the UK "key stages" instead as the "England (forms)" row is for outdated terminology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Capturts (talk • contribs) 14:21, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

An issue about the usage of the i.e. in the "Secondary school" page

In the "Secondary school" page. There's a sentence, "some UK private schools, i.e. public schools, admit pupils between the ages of 13 and 18.", in the paragrph two. I think the "i.e." which in this sentence aimed at to explan the meaning of private schools. It shows that "private schools" is public schools. I don't think this statement is right. I hope someone who know that can check for it. I'm not an English native speaker. If it is a misunderstand, please beg your pardon and teach me the true meaning of this word. Thank you.

Hi there, for historical reasons many private schools in the UK are termed public school - particularly old, elite schools. Despite the term public school, they are fee-paying schools and are not state-funded. Rafts of Calm (talk) 21:41, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
