Erm… well in the UK the schooling system works differently, as in our college is 16 - 18 years old & university is 18 - depends on how long the course is. :/ So technically if you just want COLLEGE then it wouldn’t be all to fair seeing as different countries have different schooling systems.

You’d probably be better Googling it? Or have you tried that? I really don’t know what to suggest, I guess you could ask your teacher OR if you felt up to the challenge work out the percentage for each country & then you could work out the overall percentage.

Sorry for my AWFUL help. ;D

haha yea, i’ve tried googling it…i did think about figuring the percentages per country and doing it that way, but i’m hoping there will be a quicker way.

I never knew that about the UK education system (college 16-18 and university 18+). Interesting.

Oh and lastly, I can’t ask my teacher this question, it’s what I’ve been assigned to figure out :p

Aha, yeah UK education is WAY different from American education. :/ Well, not way different, just different. Like we don’t have grades, we have years & we call our schools different things - not elementary/highschool etc.

Anyway, I just went on Wiki Answers & apparently only 1% do.

Yay, thank you!! That’s a huge help :D

Wow, I think I like the sound of your education system better…The whole no grades thing would be nice. I can’t even really imagine how that would work though without a grading system, but I’m sure it’s nice for the students!

Aha, sorry I didn’t mean that. XD My bad.

I meant like you have grade 8 instead of year 8 or whatever. :/ Baha, no grades would be pretty **** hot though.
