Most students study for five to six years from the age of 12 to 17/18.
General secondary education, requiring the Certificat d'Etudes Primaires
(CEP) for entry, entails six years of study:
Two years common to all students and referred to as the Tronc Commun
(common core) or Cycle d'Orientation (orientation cycle); and
Four years, the Cycle Long (referred to as Humanités) in a humanities,
science, technical or teacher training stream. Professional and vocational
fields tend to be shorter and are referred to as Cycle Court.
Cycle Long programmes of study conclude with a final four-day national
examination Examen d'Etat (State Examination).
A score of 50% and above confers the Diplôme d'Etat d'Etudes Secondaires
du Cycle Long in the chosen stream (section) and specialisation (option).
This diploma has been in its current form since 1988 and enables access to
higher education.View entire presentation
