Eleventh grade


Eleventh grade (called Year 12, Grade 11 or Class 11 in some regions) is the eleventh, and for some countries final, grade of secondary schools. Students are typically 16–17 years of age, depending on the country and the students' birthdays.

In Australia, Year Eleven is typically the twelfth year of education and fifth (except Western Australia and South Australia, which it is the fourth) year of high school education. Although there are slight variations between the states, most students in Year Eleven are aged between sixteen and seventeen. Queensland year-eleven students are the youngest in the country, as they usually enter at age fifteen.

In New South Wales, Year Eleven is the shortest year as it only lasts three whole terms. Year Twelve begins its first term where Year Eleven would have its fourth.

Year Eleven is followed by Year Twelve, the final year of high school.

Grade eleven is the first year of college in Bangladesh. Students in this grade are sixteen to seventeen years old and get the chance to study in this grade after passing the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) or equivalent exam. In Bangladesh this grade is also referred as 'Class 11' or 'Inter first year' or 'Intermediate first year' or 'HSC first year' etc.

In Belgium, the 11th grade is called 5ème secondaire in the French speaking part of the country, and "5de middelbaar" in the Dutch speaking part.

In all provinces and territories, except Quebec, a student continues to Grade 12 to complete their high school, or secondary, education. In Quebec, Grade 11 (sec. 5) is the final year of secondary education, followed by college, a pre-university level unique to Quebec.

The eleventh grade is the last year in secondary education. In this year, all students are required to do an internship in any subject field. To differentiate from Universities' internships, the practice is called 'alphabetisation'; most of the time is related to community services, such as teaching in schools, or assisting in hospitals or libraries. Students also do the ICFES National Test and they present to the draft for the Colombian Army. By law, the army cannot recruit under-age students; most of eleventh-graders are aged 16-17, and the draft is almost changed for the payment of a monetary fee. This year is called the senior year.
