The purpose of secondary education is to build on the learning outcomes of primary education and to prepare oneself for the tertiary education.

The Fall intakes start in late August and ends in late December or early January whereas the Spring intakes begin in January and ends by early May.
English Proficiency Requirements
The English Proficiency requirements, again, is subject to the University you are applying to and the country you have opted for. But, one sure thing is that you will have to prove your ability to communicate in the language, which will be demonstrated through your scores in some standardized tests like TOEFL, IELTS and/or PTE or some other specific tests as prescribed.
Further, you must take note of the fact that while Universities might accept either of the above tests, the requirements for Visa may be set (say UK does not recognize TOEFL for Visas). Therefore, you must ensure that the test you are appearing for must be recognized by the country’s immigration department as well.
