Middle school, lycée Explanation: There is considerable difference between the two and, though lycée is sometimes equated with grammar school, in fact it is more like the top three forms of a grammar school. "Secondary education is compulsory until the age of 16 and includes attendance at a collège until the age of 15. At 15, continuing education is decided by examination, students with the greatest academic aptitude going to a lycée (high school) until they’re 18 ( cycle long) to study for the baccalauréat and others following shortened studies ( cycle court) in a vocational course. "These include the study for a brevet d’enseignement professionnel ( BEP) or certificat d’aptitude professionnelle ( CAP), which can lead to a baccalauréat professionnel, in a ‘professional’ lycée. At the end of collège, a certificate of competence is issued for particular skills, provided a certain level of language ability has also been attained. Students can repeat a year until they pass the final examinations, and few leave without a certificate." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2009-07-08 08:59:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Of course, unless they are from Leicestershire, your readers will probably not find the term "middle school" familiar. "Secondary school" and "sixth form college" would be another option, except that lycée is not just for two years, but this is probably the closest UK equivalent.

Upon completion of this grade, students are awarded a Brevet des collèges if they obtain a certain number of points on a series of tests in various subjects.[citation needed] |
