It's interesting to me the differences between countries. In South Africa, the first way you get your final grade 12 results (which are used for university admissions) is via the newspapers. Every year, everyone's grades are published in a massive list everyone can see.

(Later on you do get an actual certificate too.)

Well, that massive list is anonymous, since only register numbers of students and their grades are published.

That was a shock to me because it used to actually be everyone's names.
