Pre-University Education refers to the educational stage that occurs before students enter a university or higher education institution. This phase typically includes secondary education, which may consist of high school or equivalent programs. Students usually complete this level around the ages of 16 to 18, preparing them for further academic pursuits. During Pre-University Education, students study a variety of subjects, including mathematics, science, literature, and social studies. Many students also take standardized tests, such as the SAT or ACT, to assess their readiness for university. This education is crucial for developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed for success in higher education.
