---Not available. NOTE: End of secondary school is equivalent to 12th-grade in the U.S. and a few other countries, but ranges from 9th- to 14th-grade among the survey countries. Possible scores range from 1 to 1,000. Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
