Fyi: it’s called post secondary because, I think, UK calls it primary, secondary, and after that is post secondary.

    Same, but we have middle school where I am. It’s grades 6~8 or just 7 and 8 depending on who you ask.

    But primary and secondary are also recognized and used in some official circumstances. Tertiary is something I’ve heard only once, and I’m surprised it doesn’t get used more often.

      I went to French immersion, so I also heard a lot of “primary” and “secondary” school. Never heard tertiary, only “post-secondary”

        I heard “tertiary education” from an international student. It made me wonder why we call it “post-secondary” when “tertiary” makes more sense.
