Nonsense

As for curriculum at gymnasiums, I think it can vary widely. Yes, you might encounter classics, philosophy, languages, physics. But today, I think you’re also just as likely to get media studies, computer science, and video production at gymnasium. Would be interesting to read a history of them.

Both are publicly funded.

My understanding is that gymnasiums are still quite common today in continental Europe for high schoolers who want to be ready for uni in a variety of fields (arts, languages, sciences, maths, engineering, medicine, law).

My understanding is that many European countries have two pathways for students to choose in high school: you can either go to vocational high school, who CV prepares you for a trade or, if you make sufficient high grades, you can go to gymnasium, which prepares you for university.
