How much do you know about secondary schools?

Overview of Secondary Schools

• A secondary school provides secondary education and usually includes the building where this takes place.
• Secondary schools provide both lower and upper secondary education, but these can also be provided in separate schools.
• In the US, the secondary education system has separate middle schools and high schools.
• In the UK, state schools and privately funded schools accommodate pupils between the ages of 11–16 or 11–18.
• Attendance is usually compulsory for students until age 16.
• There are three widely used systems to describe the age of the child.
• Schools exist within a strict legal framework, where they may be answerable to the church, the state through local authorities and their stakeholders.
• School building design does not happen in isolation.
• The building providing the education has to fulfill the needs of the students, teachers, non-teaching support staff, administrators, and the community.
• Government accountants read the advice then publish minimum guidelines on schools.
• The UK government published a downwardly revised space formula in 2014.
• A secondary school locally may be called a high school, senior high school, junior high school, intermediate school, lower secondary school, or middle school.
