How much different is college from secondary school?

Zora Mazzie: Secondary school is an educational institution where the final stage of the three schooling periods, known as secondary education and usually compulsory up to a specified age takes place. It follows elementary or primary education, and is sometimes followed by university (tertiary) education. The term high school is used particularly in North America, Canada and North Western England though the two types of school are far from synonymous.There are very many different types of secondary school, and the language used varies around the world. Children usually go to secondary school between the ages of 10 and 16 years, and end between the ages of 16 and 19 years, although there is considerable variation from country to country.Read more:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_school...Show more
