Summary of Findings
During the initial hour of research, we focused on finding high school and university graduation rates.
We found that universities are referred to as tertiary education and high schools are referred to as secondary education. Also, secondary education is divided into lower and upper secondary education.
Both the number of students graduated and the graduation rates were included as much as possible. Also, some figures on enrollment rates were included to show the contrast between enrollment in secondary and enrollment in tertiary education.
