17.

This is the normal age to graduate from secondary school, more or less the equivalent of your high school, at the middle level here. Broadly it’s like this; you go to primary school from 3 or 4 to twelve, in eight grades. Then you go through secondary school from 12 to either 16, 17 or 18 depending on your education level with the shortest being the lowest level. These levels allow follow-up education in three levels, among them higher education in the higher levels. Before primary education you can go to a pre-school, which I had to for a year I think.

I never repeated or skipped a class. I did take an extra year for graduating university.

So my track went like this; primary school until I was 12 > secondary school at the middle level until 17 > higher Bachelor education until 19 to be admitted to university > completed Bachelor education at 22 > Master’s degree until 25.
