[Needanewname42]

Being curious, people always say the UK start school young compaired to other countries.

Scotland tradionally started school at 5 13 years of school. 7 Primary 6 Secondary

I think England is 15 years of school?? Starting at 4.5.

AIBU to think countries who start formal school at 6 or 7 have less years of formal school ?

In Spain mandatory education is from 6-16 years old but most kids start reception at the age of 3 years old.
For reception and primary the hours are: Monday to Thursday 8:45 to 16:15 with a lunch break between 12:45 and 14:45 and Fridays 8:45 to 13:45
Secondary hours are: 8:05 to 14:30
