Fyi: it’s called post secondary because, I think, UK calls it primary, secondary, and after that is post secondary.

    Romania. We call it primary (1-4), gymnasium (5-8) and lyceum (9-12). They come from French/Latin.

    Latin is one of the roots of our language and we underwent a big pro-Latin cultural movement in the 19th century, while French also had a big cultural and educational influence.

      Gymnasium and lyceum are both Greek. They did pass through Latin on their way into modern use. Lyceum was the name of Aristotle’s school in Athens.
