In Mexico, basic education is normally divided in three steps: primary school (primaria), comprising ages 6-12; junior high school (secundaria), comprising ages 12-15; and high school (preparatoria), comprising ages 15-18. (because in the major parts of mexico the high school is until 18 years)
Primary SchoolThe terms "Primary School" or "Elementary School" usually corresponds to primaria, comprising grades 1-6, when the student's age is 6 to 12 years old. It starts the basic compulsory education system.Depending on the school, a bilingual education may be offered from the beginning, where half the day instruction is in Spanish, and the rest is in a second language, for example, English or French.

• Junior High School– The terms "Junior High School" or "Middle School" usually correspond
to secundaria, since when the students age are 12 to 15 years old. It is part of the basic compulsory education system, it follows primary school, and comes before proper "high school" (preparatoria).
– At this level, more specialized subjects may be taught such as Physics and Chemistry, and World History.
• High School– The term "High School" (United States) or gymnasium (German, Dutch
systems) usually corresponds to preparatoria or bachillerato, comprising grades 10-12, when the student's age is 15 to 18 years old. Preparatoria traditionally consists of three years of education, divided into six semesters, with the first semesters having a common curriculum, and the latter ones allowing some degree of specialization, either in physical sciences (electricity, chemistry, biology, etc.) or social sciences (commerce, philosophy, law, etc.).
Roberto Doñez 1511605
• Higher education– Higher education usually follows the US education
model with an at least 4-year Bachelor's degreeundergraduate level (Licenciatura), and two degrees at the postgraduate level, a 2-year Master's degree (Maestría), and a 3-year Doctoral degree (Doctorado). This structure of education very closely conforms to the Bologna Process started in Europe in 1999, allowing Mexican students to study abroad and pursue a Master's degree after Licenciatura, or a Doctoral degree after Maestría.
