UK "post school education" means what?

<p>I am applying to various jobs and they sometimes ask for my “post school education” qualifications. I have tried Googling this but have found no clear definition. I know that “postgraduate” education in the UK refers to the equivalent of US graduate school, but am not sure whether “post school education” is the same thing, since “post school” could mean something besides graduate school here. If you live in the UK and know what this means, your input would be most appreciated.</p>

<p>School = secondary (high) school, so post school = anything you have done since high school, including college at the undergrad and post grad levels.</p>

<p>Jed222 is correct.</p>

<p>The term “school” only applies to education under the age of 18. When 20-something Americans tell Brits they are “still in school”, the Brits assume they are in some kind of remedial classes for slow learners.</p>
