The educational system in France
The education system of France is a unified one, with a general structure that consists of primary schools, collèges and lycées. As opposed to the system which was in place until the 1970’s that had an obvious separation between primary and secondary education. Since, France has shown excellent advancement in the development of pre-school education; all 3 to 5 year olds can attend nursery classes.
