Concept
Ninth grade
Summary
Ninth grade (also 9th Grade or Grade 9) is the ninth or tenth year of formal or compulsory education in some countries. It is generally part of middle school or secondary school depending on country. Students in ninth grade are usually 14–15 years old, but in some countries are 15–16.
Education in Afghanistan
In Afghanistan, ninth grade is the third year of secondary school, which starts in seventh grade. Under the 2004 Constitution of Afghanistan, education up to ninth grade (about age 15) was compulsory. In 2013, it was noted that students were generally gender-segregated by ninth grade, with female students taught by female teachers.
In 2021, the Taliban abolished the 2004 constitution and banned female students from attending secondary school. In March 2022, the Taliban announced that secondary schools would reopen for girls but closed them again very soon after.
Education in Canada
In most of Canada, Grade 9 is either the last year of junior high school or the first year of high school depending on province and students are typically about age 15. In Quebec, however, Grade 9 is the middle year of its five-year high school program.
Education in Denmark
In Denmark, grade 9 (around age 16, also called form level 9) is the final year of compulsory education, and grade 10 is optional. Public comprehensive schools up to grade 10 are called Folkeskole. Grade 9 subjects include Danish, English, Christian studies, history, social studies, mathematics, geography, biology, physics/chemistry and German and French as electives. Students must sit compulsory school-leaving exams at the end of grade 9, and must also complete a mandatory project assignment during the year.
After grade 9, students have the option of attending general or vocational upper secondary education for two or three years until they are around 19.
Education in Finland
In Finland, ninth grade is the last year of compulsory schooling. Students are generally aged around 16 when they finish 9th grade. They can then go on to attend vocational or academic high schools (generally for 3 years).
