High school here runs through grade 12, and is part of primary education. It's publicly funded. The only costs to students are for clubs and sports, and for school-provided lunch (which is excepted if your family is below a certain income). Most students graduate the same year they turn 18, so higher education (college or university) considerations only apply to adults.
There are heavy restrictions on pre-18 employment because of school. Limited hours per week, and evening cutoffs to ensure teens still have time for family/homework/etc.
Some schools (maybe all? I can only speak to my own experience) allow work release to grades 11 and 12, provided you're ahead enough on required credits and coursework for this to not set you back. Basically, you can trade elective classes for early release, but you must prove employment.
Thank you for the detailed answer. I guess I had some misconceptions about high school then.
Mh that's not true about the 18 year age for work here, I have to say in retrospect. In my youth it was still common to distribute brochures etc. at the weekend around the age of ~14, mh internships still exist, but this is unpaid work, at ~16 years then an apprenticeship and from 18 years then in regular work (or depending on further university).
