A highest level of formal educational qualification achieved that is lower secondary level of education (ISCED 2) which generally pursues the basic programmes of the primary level, although teaching is typically more subject-focused, often employing more specialised teachers who conduct classes in their field of specialisation. Lower secondary education may be either “terminal”(i.e. preparing students for direct entry into working life) and / or “preparatory” (i.e. preparing students for upper secondary education).This level can range from 2 to 6 years of schooling (the mode of OECD countries is 3 years).
