Editing Matriculation (section)

==Pakistan==

In [[Pakistan]], matriculation (usually referred to as ''matric'') is the term that refers to the final examinations that take place at the end of 9th and 10th grades.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Matric Result 2020 – 9th class and 10th class result, SSC part 1 and SSC part 2|url=https://matricboardresult.com/|website=Matric board result|language=en-US|access-date=2020-05-14}}</ref> These examinations are usually taken up by students aged 14 to 16 years.

It results in the issuance of [[Secondary School Certificate]] (SSC) or [[Technical School Certificate]] (TSC). After the SSC (or TSC), students may proceed for 11th year of education at a higher secondary school. After successful completion of 11th (HSSC-1) and 12th (HSSC-2) years in college, they get the [[Higher Secondary School Certificate]] (HSSC) and become eligible to enter universities in Pakistan or in other countries. Pakistan still uses terms such as ''Matriculation Exams'' and ''Intermediate Exams'' taken from the days of [[British Raj|British rule]], although in England itself these terms were replaced with 'O' or Ordinary Level Examinations (now called [[General Certificate of Secondary Education|GCSEs]]) and 'A' or [[A-level|Advanced Level]] Examination.
