Senior secondary education

[2] The senior secondary years often involve a difficult transition from the world of the child to that of the adult.

[3] In many countries, school attendance is no longer compulsory in the senior secondary years.

The term "senior secondary" may also be used to refer to any institution that covers the upper part of secondary education, such as the High School in all National and State Boards in India and also as the Junior College in some State Boards in India.

The Senior Secondary Certificate of Education (SSCE) is the graduation certificate awarded to most students in Australian high schools.

The name and the curriculum of the certificate varies between each state and territory.
