Secondary Education

Secondary education is defined in the Education Act 1996 as education appropriate for pupils who have completed a primary education and is divided into two stages – lower secondary (Forms I-III) upper secondary (Forms IV-V).

Post-Secondary (Form VI and Matriculation) means education provided to a person who has completed upper secondary education, but does not include higher education.
