The minimum requirements for education vary from country to country. Some European countries require more than 12 years of school before moving on to a university. Others require college attendance for two or three years after graduation from high school, with more advanced studies remaining an option. Surprisingly, the minimum age for leaving school is lower than many states in the US. In most countries students can leave school at the age of 15 or 16. So why is the school system in America based on 12 years of study? For a purely arbitrary reason: That's how the first school in the US did it. The English High School, founded in 1821, in Boston MA. was the first public high school in the US, and it was modeled after the Royal High School in Edinburgh, Scotland (est. 1505). Most schools now impose a 12-year sentence - I mean enrollment period - for pre-college study. Some countries also require additional study after high school, usually referred to as college. After completion of college, advanced study at a university is optional.
