Class 5 (5 years of education) is primary. Matric (Class 10, 10 years of education) is secondary. FA/FSc (Class 12, 12 years of education)is Intermediate. BA/BSc (Class 14, 14 years of education) is graduation. MA/MSc (Class 16, 16 years of education)is post graduation. PhD is doctorate.

Anything after matric is post secondary. Hope this clarifies.

Secondary is class 8 and 9-10 is HSSC 'higher secondary school certificate'.
FA FSc is freshman.
In past Pakistan's HSSC (9-10) used to be in Urdu medium whereas university education has always been in English, therefore it was helpful for this transition but now all school education is in english therefore FSc is only waste of time for english medium school children.
Those who understands this injustice, they opt. for for cambridge exams, aka 'A' 'O' level etc. and jump to University without wasting time in FSc.

Dear Nadeem,
Is'nt any education after the high school (12) is post secondary !!
If someone asks me to submit post secondary educational certificates / degree, dont you think i must only submit certificates that i have got after my 12. My FA / Fsc certificate should not be included in that !!

In Pakistan
- completing 10th is called Matric / Secondary School Certificate(SSC)
- completing 12th is called Intermediate/FA/FSC / Higher Secondary School Certificate(HSSC).
- completing 14 years is BA. now some universitites also offering 16 yes BA/BSC/BBA.

O level is equivalent to 10th/matric/SSC
A level is equivalent to 12th/FA/FSC/HSSC

Also note that HSSC/FA/FSC/Intermediate of Pakistan is equivalent to 'High School' of USA/Canada/UK/Australia etc and valid for admission to any university of the world in Bachelors program.

INFORMED replied on Thursday, May 12, 2011 09:41 AM

@Ahmed....... yea ur children will get equivalency for Matric/SSC of Pakistan, if they r doing O-level anywhere in the world; it DOES NOT matter if they do not study urdu, pak studies, islamiat being in a foreign country.

also if they do 'A-level' in any country outside Pakistan without studying urdu, pak studies, islamiat, they will get equivalency for HSSC/FSC/FA/Intermediate of Pakistan.

DO NOT WORRY.

Dear INFORMED,

If someone (from abroad any uni or immigration office) asks me to submit post secondary educational certificates / degree, do i need to send my FA / FSc cert also or technically it should be only those degrees / cert that i have received after my FA / FSc.
