Talk:Post-secondary education

I'm not familiar with any usage of the phrase "post-secondary education" which excludes university and higher education, as this article describes. Can someone else confirm this usage, or is it best merged with tertiary education or some other related article? -- Rbellin 02:47, 19 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

In Australia Post-Secondary usually refers to trade/vocational and hospitality/service industry training, in contrast with Tertiary Education which normally refers to studies undertaken toward the award of an undergraduate degree. Another distinction (at least historically) in Australia was that Post-secondary was often entered from Year 10 where Tertiary was usually entered after completing a Year 12 leaving certificate.

"Tertiary" = "post-secondary"

For uses of "tertiary education" to mean all education past secondary – Colleges of F.E., undergraduate courses, graduate courses, etc. – see Australia, Greece, Mauritius, new Zealand, Trinidad & Tobago, the [1], theWorld Bank, and this journal). See also the Analytic Quality Glossary definition and description (which also includes reference to the "third-level" synonym),

I've merged the maetrial from the "tertiary education" article, and redirected it here. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:48, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merger Proposal

Given that all the good information from Tertiary_education is here, and that I'm proposing that that page merge with this one. GumbyProf: "I'm about ideas, but I'm not always about good ideas." 20:55, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
