In North American school systems, and some European ones, there is a mandatory course of study for all children which is generally divided into two sections: a primary or elementary section for younger children from which they graduate to a secondary section or "high school". Once the secondary section is completed, the mandatory course is completed. Students do, however, pursue studies voluntarily after completing their secondary education in universities, colleges, trade schools, seminaries and the like. They are called "post-secondary" since they are attended after (this is the meaning of "post" in this context) secondary education.
