		In most countries, the start of compulsory education coincides with the point of entry to primary school (except in Ireland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands) and the end coincides with the transition from lower to upper secondary education (except in France, Austria and the United Kingdom (England and Wales and Northern Ireland)).

		In upper secondary education, the schools themselves have some scope for deciding the number of pupils in each class, although the general frame is decided centrally.

		Many students, especially from a lower social background or vocational and technological secondary education, prefer this system to the university system, but admission in the first year is subject to quotas and is therefore difficult to gain.
