In Belgium we have primary school for 6 years, then 6 years of high school :) No middle school at all.
University can go from like 3 to 7 years depending on what you want to study. (Or even more if you want to continue your education after that of course). But mostly it's 3 years 'bachelor'-study at uni, then 1 'master'-year. :)

Hey there! (=・ω・=) Well, it's a little bit different in my country - Bulgaria. This is how it is:
1-4 grade = primary school
5-8 grade = middle school
9-12 grade = high school
Education is compulsory until the age of 16. Also it's up to you whether you attend a kindergarten or not, but before starting primary school you must attend a one-year pre-school program (we call it предучилищна in Bulgarian). I hope I helped. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

In France, elementary school lasts 5 years, middle school 4 years and high school 3 years. You can study in university from 3 to 8 years.

In Serbia - 8 years of elementary school, 4 years of high school, and uni is usually 4 years (but some last 3years or more that 4, depends on your major)

Here where I live it's the American system (although I'm in UAE), so elementary is 5 years, middle is 3, and high school is 4.

In Puerto Rico:
pre-k (optional) (1year)
elementary school is from kindergarten to 6th grade (7 years)
middle school is from 7th to 9th grade (3 years)
high school is from 10th to 12th grade (3 years)
And as for university bachelor's degrees are 4 to 5 years depending on you major, but some of my classmates have been going at it for 8+ years.
School is mandatory from elementary school to high school.

In norway there are 7 years of primary school (1-7), three years of middle scool (8-10), and three years of high school (1-3). When you go to highscool you can choose to apply to different schools depending on what education you want, so they call the three years of highscool 1., 2. And 3. Grade.

Canada grade: 1-6 Elementary, 7-9 Junior High, 10-12 High School, College 1-4 years, University 4-9 years (For Phds)

Woah thank you so much! *kiss hug*
Actually I want to write some stories so I need a reference about this, you've helped me a lot!

In Malaysia education is compulsory till we reach the age of 17. We start kindergarten at 4 till 6. Then attend primary school from age 7 till 12. When we reach standard 6 (age 12) we have an important exam call UPSR. The scores we got on the exam lets the 3 high school we've chosen to see whether they wanna accept us. Next we start high school from age 13 till 17, then we graduate. Whoever failed the Bahasa Melayu test needs to attend an extra year in highschool before they can enter form 1 (age 13). Eh....then we get to choose if we want to stay in our high.s to continue form 6 for three years (17-20) then off we go to university! Then the ones who stop high.s at form 5 attends college.

Sry, form 6 only lasts 2 years (18-20)

In Turkey we call it; "4+4+4" Elementary is 4 years, middle and highschool is same. Kids begin to primary when they're 6/7. (Legally it's 5 but everyone ignores it.)(⌒▽⌒)

And if it's about university, you can have it in 2 years (i could not find a term which one answers it.) you take classes from home, but you have to go school for exams. (Classes live broadcast on school's website.) Or 4 years, which one is better. (Classic one) It's 6 years for medicine / engineering students. And some of highschools has "preparetory year".
