LENGTH OF SCHOOL LIFE

Full-time education is compulsory from the age of five, and it is customary for children to start school at the beginning of the term in which their fifth birthday falls. They must not leave before the end of the term in which they reach the age of sixteen, but they may continue until the age of nineteen.

The period of full-time education is divided into two stages – primary and secondary. A child normally completes the primary stage at the end of the school year in which his eleventh birthday falls. During this primary stage, a child may attend one school, or, particularly in urban areas, two, these being an infants’ school and a junior school. If he begins in an infants’ school, he will transfer to a junior school at the end of the school year in which he becomes seven years old. Upon leaving the junior school he goes to a secondary school of one type or another. A noteworthy feature of both primary and secondary schools is that promotion is, in generally, based on age and not upon attainment.

The school year begins in September, and continues until late in July. It is divided into three terms separated by vacations at Christmas and at Easter, each lasting about three weeks, and a summer vacations of six or seven weeks. Mid-term is usually marked by a long week-end of three or four days’ duration.
