New Zealand
In New Zealand, Year Eleven is the eleventh full year of compulsory education (5 year olds usually start their first year in Year 0 until the new calendar year). Students are usually aged fifteen or sixteen in this year group but there is no minimum age. Year Eleven pupils are educated in Secondary schools or in Area schools. Year Eleven was previously known as the 5th Form and for most students they are studying for NCEA Level 1 which equates to what was previously known as School Certificate.
