Answer 1

In the U.S. "Secondary" refers to high school. It's a term that goes back to when "required" education was 1st - 8th grade. Secondary Education was education beyond that, 9th-12th grade. "Post Secondary" refers to education beyond high school and includes certificates and degrees in community colleges, trade schools, colleges, and universities, generally A.A., A.S., B.A., and B.S. degrees. Post Graduate refers to education beyond a college or university degree, generally Masters and Doctorate degrees.
