The education system in France
The
French education system sounds like it's pretty organized. The government is in
charge of it, and they make sure all kids go to school between ages 3 and 16.
Everything is in French, and it's free for everyone.
Education
in France is organized into three parts: primary, secondary, and higher
education. Kids start school pretty early, at age two, and it's compulsory from
the age of three. At six, kids start primary school and continue with higher
grades until they finish.
In
France, there are different degrees you can earn in higher education. They have
bachelor's degrees, Master's, and Doctorate degrees. According to the Programme
for French 15-year-olds ranked 26th in the world in reading, math, and science.
However, the percentage of low performers in these subjects has been
increasing.
Primary schools:
In
France usually start sending their kids to preschool when they're three years
old, the first two years of preschool are about learning how to live in a
community, while the last two years are more like school. After preschool, kids
go to elementary school where they learn reading, writing, math, science, and
the arts.
Secondary schools:
Secondary
schools in France cover a wide range of topics, including French Language and
Literature, History and Geography, Foreign Languages, Arts and Crafts, Musical
Education, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. Class sizes can vary but
usually range from 20 to 35 students. After primary school, students attend college
(middle school) for four years and then(high school) for three years.
High schools:
Higher
education in France is divided into three levels, which are the Licence and
Licence Professionally (bachelor's degrees), and the Master's and Doctorate
degrees. The Licence and Master are organized in semesters and include various
paths based on UE (Unites designment or Modules) worth a defined number of
European credits (ECTS). A license is awarded once 180 ECTS have been obtained,
and a master's is awarded once 120 additional credits have been obtained. It is
also possible to return to school later by continuing education or to validate
professional experience.
International education:
France

teaches English to students who are not from English-speaking countries. It can
also be a school that teaches English in a country where English is not the
official language.
