Fyi: it's called post secondary because, I think, UK calls it primary, secondary, and after that is post secondary.

Sweden, none of the above since we are not English native speakers. 😬

Grundskolan (mandatory for 6-15 year olds). Gymnasiet (optional for 16-19 year olds).

Roughly what percentage of people go on to Gymnasiet? Is the next step University of some sort?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Basically everybody attends gymnasiet. Some programs are focused on preparing for higher studies, such as University, other programs at focused on a trade. All programs have a minimum core curriculum of math, Swedish, English etc.

Yes, the next step is University (or some other kind of higher education), or not, if higher education is not your thing.
