In my former country, only 10 years of schooling are compulsory (until a few years ago, it was even worse, as only 8 years of primary school were compulsory) what I find very unsatisfactory, as it means lack of complete High School. Especially nowadays, when even workmen are required a degree. The true mishap, however, is the shameful cost of education in my former country, that forces many families to get rid of higher education. In my current country, things run better, as complete High School is compulsory and public education for free.
