Education in France
•
Since 1967, school attendance has been compulsory
for those from six to sixteen years of age.
•
Many children enter voluntary kindergartens at the
age of three.
•
Primary schooling lasts for six years.
•
Secondary schooling is divided into two stages:
•
Stage 1 – from eleven to fifteen years; almost all
children now attend a
collège
.
•
Stage 2 – from fifteen to eighteen years they study in a
general, technical or vocational lycée.
•
53.6 percent of the French population enrol in higher
education.
•
There are two kinds of universities in France: public
universities and Grandes Ecoles (that set higher
standards).

Higher education is primarily paid for by the French
taxpayers so tuition fees are very low.
