Wait, yous don’t even have free secondary school? I know America has an infamously terrible tertiary education sector, but I thought high schools were publicly funded at least.
no, elementary through highschool is state provided, k-12 as it’s referred to. College/university (the same thing here mostly) are not and are private institutions separate from the government.
High school is considered primary education here. (at least by me, take it with a grain of salt)

Ah, right. So, this terminology is actually pretty standardised and high school is secondary education, with primary school naturally being…primary education. Though there is a little ambiguity around the edges, for example:
It’s of particular note because the phrase “tertiary education” universally refers to post-school education like university or technical colleges, and it wouldn’t make sense to have tertiary education if there was no secondary.
