*In Ukraine the 12 Year Grade model is currently being phased in. At present, students at upper secondary are expected to complete their Certificate of Completed General Secondary Education at the end of grade 11. In Ireland most students follow a three year senior cycle programme and are typically 18 years old when they take their final examinations.
