Answer
Secondary education covers ages 11-18 (high school/secondary school), including GCSE and A-Level qualifications in the UK or grades 9-12 in the US. It provides foundational academic knowledge and prepares students for further study or employment. Tertiary education is post-secondary education at universities, colleges, or vocational institutions, offering degrees, diplomas, or professional certifications. Secondary is compulsory in most countries; tertiary is optional and specialized.
