More than 50% of upper secondary school graduates are entering a higher education.

Pre-school, which is optional, is followed by nine years of compulsory education in primary and lower secondary school. There is an optional tenth form. The upper secondary education system includes a range of opportunities. Academic programs allow students to apply for entry to higher education. Vocational programs are aimed at direct entry to the labor market", website says, explaining the levels of education in the country.
