    A co-op is like an internship, except I get paid (and get paid pretty well). It is a program for engineering students so they get real experience in their field before they graduate and nine times out of ten, the company you co-op'd for will hire you full time when you graduate college.

    In my case, I'm waiting until the fall of my 3rd year (fall of 2012) to go on co-op and I will be taking classes this summer. Basically, I never have summer break again. T-T

    Ah we have that too sort of, pretty much paid internship.
    I got put in a large factory that makes certain parts for cars though, wasn't really much fun.
    I'm looking at work in a more private sector, less industrial kind and more custom requests from clients.

    The German system works like this:

    Kindergarten (3-6 Years age)
    Elementary School (1st - 4th grade)
    Secondary Schools
    > Secondary Modern School (5th - 9th grade)
    > Middle School (5th - 10th grade)
    > Grammar School (5th - 12th/13th grade; that's being discussed by the government atm)
    University

    In Australia it's just

    Primary School 5-11/12 years old
    High School from 12/13 - 17/18 years old (depending on what state/school you're at)
    Then TAFE and Uni are whatever age. :P

    I think it's interesting just how different the education system is in each country.

    Also want to add to Sarah's post that the final two years of high school aren't compulsory, you can leave as long as you are leaving to work full time, go to TAFE or to get an apprenticeship.

    Over here it's

    Kindergarden 3-6
    Elementary 6-12
    Secondary 12-18

    After that you have a degree in what you chose and if you want you can go to university
