Could anyone help me?

I �d like to know how the different levels of English are stated. I mean, sometimes you make ws for 9th grade students. How old are they? In Spain it �s quite different and i need to clear myself about it.
Thanks in advance.  |

I think it �s better if you rely on age descriptions and levels like elementary, intermediate and advanced, because levels differ from country to country... |

Basically all levels from one country to another tend to be quite similar. However, they might be called different. As in eastern countries kids normally start primary education�-forget kindergarten- at the same time it �s just a matter of counting. According to the Spanish system kids reach until 6th grade and then they start 1st of ESO but if you keep counting from 6 you �ll propably be right guessing the age of a 9th level of a different country. Anyway I would follow anitarobi �s levels as the age does not mean a certaing knowledge |

In Spain it �s like this:
- nursery infant education (0 to 6 years)
- primary education (6 to 12 years)
- compulsory secondary education (12 to 16 years)
- post-compulsory secondary education, including the baccalaureate and the middle grade of vocational training
- upper grade vocational training
- university education
But it has nothing to do with the level of English. Thanks to all for helping me. I �ll rely on the level and not in the grade. |

In Quebec, kids start school at 5 years old
1 year of kindergarten
6 years of elementary
5 years of secondary
From there: they have two choices:
2 years of college followed by university or
3 years of college. |
