Huh? Maybe that’s when you saw people on TV for the first time.

High school was advanced education in 2000. Basic education ended around grade 6-8.

No reasonable person considered high school advanced education in the 70's let alone 2000. If 85%+ of people get it for half a century, it is by definition not advanced.
