How interesting the different education systems work in the countries
Taking just an exemple of
Names of school years=
In the French educational system, names of school years “count down”, whereas in the British and US systems, they generally “count up”.
This gives the following rough equivalents. Note that formally, the full name of French school years is classe de sixième (année) etc, but class de and année is usually omitted in everyday speech.
