Form IMM 0008 Question Number 12: Education

[jeans22]

This may sound silly... It probably is... but then again, just want to make sure...

How many years of formal education do you have?

Does this mean including kindergarten?? Or just primary and so on??

Thanks!!

We didnt include kindergarten on ours. Just primary, secondary, etc...

We didn't include kindergarten as well. Start at grade 1

A formal education includes elementary and high school, and post-secondary school (college, trades or technical school, or university).

Good luck

You have to count from elementary /primary to your final education

I put 14... which I think is right. Elementary, Middle, High & 2 years of college.

reallly? kindergarten and preparatory are not included in the counting?

 

[nyssa]

When I think of K-8, I think of 8 years of school (though I realize it's 9). I've heard many people call it "12 years of schooling", not 13... though I doubt it matters too much, really, as our education isn't really what's being measured in the family class.

ok i will just include it, thanks

It does not include kindergarten, preschool, infant daycare, etc. Normally education takes 12 years (in the USA and Canada) till high school graduation, then 4 years for a Bachelor degree, then whatever it actually takes for you to get your Master's and PhD.
