I think you're going to find it difficult to compile a definitive list because there are different educational structures, even within the same country. If it helps here's what happened to me: in the UK from 1969 onwards:-
Primary school: 2 years, aged 5 - 6
Infants school: 4 years, aged 7 - 11
Secondary school: 5 years, aged 11 - 16, 'O' level and CSE exams (Now replaced by GCSEs)
6th Form college: 2 years, aged 16 - 18, 'A' level exams
University: 3 years, aged 18 - 21, Bachelor of Science
Beyond what I did, were Masters and Doctorate (Phd)
