    I’m not sure how it corresponds to other countries. We get students usually from 16 to 20, in what is called Professional Studies. It’s more focused on practical skills than theoretical. When they finish the upper level they can go to the university, and they don’t have to do several subjects of the first year, as they are very similar to what they did in the upper level. In these professional studies there is no maths, physics and so on, they only study practical subjects (hardware, networking, programming, operative systems…). Edit: some spelling mistakes

      I’d say that’s similar to vocational courses in high schools and/or community colleges that are focused primarily on getting students to learn hands-on tech skills that lead directly to employment, but it’s nice that they have the option of continuing on to university, which is something that vocational programs in the US typically don’t focus on.

        Yes, that would be it. Not all of the studetns go to university, and the studies are not focused to that end, but as you say, it’s a nice option they have, and (inventing here) maybe about 15-20% decide to, at least, try it.
