GCE stands for General Certificate of Education. GCEs are more commonly known as A Levels. They are normally taken at age 17-18. These are the qualifications which can get you a place at university.
GCSE stands for General Certificate of Secondary Education. They are a lesser qualification than A Levels. They are normally taken at age 15-16.
Whoops, should have mentioned that GCE stands for General Cambridge Examinations, (“O” levels). Do they have that in the UK, or am I confused? They are taken at age 15-16.
I’m pretty sure Britain used to do the O Levels exams as my parents said they did them but now we have a new exam system which is the GCSE’s. So I guess your country never updated to GCSE’s like we did.
Turns out you were right!
The education systems of current and former British territories, such as [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibraltar]Gibraltar[/url],[sup][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Certificate_of_Secondary_Education#cite_note-1][1][/url][/sup] and Nigeria, also offer the qualification, as supplied by the same examination boards. Other former British colonies, such as [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore]Singapore[/url] and [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwe]Zimbabwe[/url], continue to use the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-level]O-level[/url] qualification.Thanks for the explanation :)
You speak truth, completely right… How dare you speak of it that way…
