Secondary education
Secondary education is 3 years, concluding in the baccalauréat degree. Students follow either one of two directions: technical and vocational; or general and specialized. Achieving the baccalauréat is from final national exams only. Students must take a general exam in every subject studied, and earn a combined average of at least 50% to pass. Failure here is high, about only 1 of 3 succeed, the rest go on to a second examination round, where only 5-10% succeed. In total, less than half of those completing secondary school manage to obtain their baccalauréat.
