School- the Basics

The basics are pretty similar to the schooling in America except for some differences:

1. They start off in primary school which consists of preschool through 6th grade.
2. Then go off to secondary school which consists of 9th through 12th grade(they don't have 7th nor 8th).
3. Then off to college

So when kids in the Philippines graduate, they will be around 15 or 16 years old instead of being 18 or 19 as American students graduate.

I personally find that to be a better system than ours; however, i do not like other aspects of the schooling there.
