In Mexico, basic education is normally divided into three levels: primary school (ages six to 12), junior high school (ages 12 to 15) and high school (ages 15 to 18). Throughout all three levels of schooling, attendance is compulsory. Public schools in Mexico are free of charge and secular.
Nowadays, compulsory education for Argentine schoolchildren includes two options: Either six years of primary school followed by another six in secondary school, or seven years of primary school and five years of secondary school.
