Answer:
Both countries require at least two complete years in school.
Explanation:
It says...
"Hello! My name is Rosita and I live in Cartagena, Colombia.
I am 16 years old and I am in a great school.
All the great schools in Colombia have four different programs, from one year to five years of studies: technical programs, technological programs, teaching programs, and professional. The teaching programs and technological programs are the biggest.
I study in the technical program. I want to be a gardener.
When you finish the two years of the technical program, you can immediately start to work without going to the university.
In the professional careers, you need to study more than you do in the technical careers and you need to go to the university.
In the United States there are technical careers, but not in all the schools. In the United States, after finishing the technical schools or the general schools in four years, you can go to the university for professional studies."
According to that, only Colombia offers technical programs in all high schools. Only the United States offers general programs in all high schools.
They do not require university studies for technical programs.
But both countries require at least two complete years in school.
Hope this helps!
