In our country, children usually start primary school at around the age of 5 or 6.Children usually leave secondary school around the age of 16 or 18, depending on the level of education they are pursuing.Compulsory education typically starts at the age of 6 and finishes around the age of 16 or 18. Yes, we believe these are the correct ages as they ensure that children receive a basic level of education.In our country, not everyone goes on to higher education. This could be due to various reasons such as financial constraints, lack of interest, or vocational preferences. Higher education is not free in our country and students typically have to pay tuition fees.Exams are more common in our education system, although some schools do use continuous assessment methods as well. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, but continuous assessment is believed to provide a more accurate reflection of a student's progress over time.
