You need to say what you have got before we can add to it!

NEW ZEALAND
The NCEA (National Certificate of Educational Achievement) is what New Zealand children attain at the end of their secondary education. It operates at three levels, from 1 to 3.

To gain a National Certificate of Educational Achievement, you must earn 80 credits, with at least 60 from the relevant level. For example, to get Level 2, you will need 60 credits at Level 2, and the rest from any level.

NCEA Level 1 equates to Year 11 (5th Form) and qualifications such as:
The British GCSE at grade A to E

NCEA Level 3 equates to Year 13 (7th Form) and qualifications such as:

The British ‘A’ Levels and GCSE

In Japan there is no exam scheme like in most western countries. Each school does its own thing. Amazing really considering they have one of the best education systems in the world!

Let us know which ones you have. my wife is from Canada so could probably fill you in on there system. It is an interesting project may I ask why? I don't think that the different qualifications can be directly compared.
