Read the following passage, then choose the correct answer to each of the questions

The system of USA education starts with twelve years of primary and secondary school education which

the Americans have to follow. A secondary school ("high school") diploma or certificate is a compulsory

requirement for the student to be able to enter college, university, vocational, secretarial or other professional

and technical schools. American children who are around six years of age normally begin their learning at a

primary school. It takes from five to six years to complete the primary schooling. After finishing the primary

schooling, students will have to enter a secondary school where they may spend 6 or 7 year durations consisting

of either two three- year programs, or a three-year and a four-year program. Schools at this level·are known as

Middle School or Junior High School and High or Senior High School. Completion of this stage is called

Twelfth Grade. International students are advised to find out which .level of education in their country

corresponding to the twelfth grade in the US.A.

After completing the twelfth grade, students are admitted to college or university for higher education.

Study at a college or university leading to the Bachelor's Degree is known as "undergraduate" education. Study

beyond the Bachelor's Degree is known as "graduate" school, or "postgraduate" education. Advanced or graduate

degrees include law, medicine, M.B.A. (Master), and Ph.D. (doctorate) etc.

The USA has the highest number of educational institutions providing higher education than any other

country. There are more than 3800 colleges and universities imparting degree programs. The size of US. higher

educational institutions varies greatly, too, from colleges that enroll fewer than 1,000 students to large

universities that enroll more than 50,000 students.
