That is exactly why North American students are falling far behind the rest of the world and kids like SycoShaman can't spell if you put a gun to their head.

in Scotland (England is different I believe)
Primary school
p1 : age 4/5
p2 : age 5/6
p3 : age 6/7
p4 : age 7/8
p5 : age 8/9
p6 : age 9/10
p7 : age 10/11
Secondary School
s1: age 11/12
s2: age 12/13
s3: age 13/14 : start standard grades (equivalent of GCSE's)
s4: age 14/15 : sit exams for 9 standard grades (can leave school at the end of this year)
s5: age 15/16 : sit 5 Highers (equivalent of first year of a levels/ AS level?.. I dunno, they didn't have AS levels in england when I was at school)
s6: age 16/17 : sit more/resit Highers or sit 3 Advanced highers (equivalent of A2/second year of alevels). When I was at school advanced highers were entirely pointless as you got into university based on your higher grades.
University: age 17/18, for 4 years. Unless you weren't so bright in which case you went to college instead and learnt to be a hairdresser or something 
It's free (unless you go to a posh school) at school, and then if you go to university in Scotland you have your tuition fees paid for you in return for a one-off payment of 2 grand when you graduate. You can also get up to £4500 per year student loan, or if you're parents are in a lower income bracket about half of the £4500 will be non repayable bursary.
I completed all that up to my third year of uni, at which point I dropped out, moved to england, and am now sitting a foundation year in art and design at college in order to get onto a graphic media communication degree here. From next academic year in England they charge 3 grand tuition fees per year, which get covered by a student loan so you pay them back once your earning, plus you get a student loan for living costs and some sort of bursary. Cos I've done it all before though I dont get the loan for tuition fees so I have to pay them with my loan for living costs and dont get a bursary. sucks!

Belgium
primary school
6 grades (6years -> 12 years)
High School / Secondary School
-> 6 grades (13-18 years) ASO(broad theoretical education)
-> 6 grades (13-18 years) TSO(Technical education)
-> 6 grades (13-18 years) BSO(practical education)
After BSO, you can start to work, no further education
After TSO, you can enter a Hoge School (bachelor education = 3 yrs)
after ASO, you can enter a Hoge School or University.
In University, you do 2 years to have a bachelor degree. Another 2 years to have a master. 3 years if you do an engineering master degree or pharmaceutics
So if you did ASO, you are free @ 22 after 4 years university or @ 23 if you do an engineering (civil, biological) master or pharma.
