Thanks for the information about the US education system, Wayne. The UK used to have high schools that focussed on technology and "vocational" skills, but these were often seen as less than the "academic" high schools.

I am sure that current 11-16 years education in the UK does not cover much electronics, although I may be mistaken. However I think it can then be studied in 16+ education.

I think the UK has always been a bit funny about technical skills and apprenticeships, and valued preparation for university more highly. This is a mistake, I think. Certainly, electronics can teach you loads: how to build things, the physics behind it, and so on.
