What is "upper secondary education"?

Upper secondary education is the stage of education that follows lower secondary education and typically includes students aged fifteen to eighteen. It prepares students for higher education or vocational training. In many educational systems, this stage is equivalent to high school. Students can choose specialized tracks based on their interests, such as academic subjects like science, literature, or mathematics, or vocational courses that focus on skills for specific careers. Upper secondary education focuses on deeper subject knowledge, critical thinking, and prepares students for exams or qualifications required for university or work.
