Preschool education
The new educational organization includes preschool education, primary education, middle school education, secondary education, and higher education. This restructuring will be based on common core subjects, progressive specialization, and pathways at all levels. Once the widespread implementation of compulsory education is sufficiently advanced, articulations and groupings will be carried out on both pedagogical and administrative levels. Thus, preschool and primary education will be integrated to form a coherent educational foundation called 'primary education', lasting 8 years, consisting of two cycles: the basic cycle, which will include preschool and the first cycle of primary education, and the intermediate cycle, which will comprise the second cycle of primary education.
Primary Education
Primary school, lasting for six years, is open to children who have completed preschool and, on a transitional basis, to children who have not had preschool education, aged six or older, as well as to students coming from traditional schools, at the level for which they are qualified.

Secondary education
Secondary education begins with a three-year cycle called 'Collège'. After 9 years of basic education (6 years in primary school + 3 in collège), students enter upper secondary education ('Lycée'), which includes a one-year common core curriculum. First-year students choose between several options: humanities, sciences, mathematics, or an original option. Second-year students (1st year preparing for the baccalaureate) take courses in natural sciences, physics, agronomy, technical studies, economics, or follow mathematics tracks A or B and undergo a regional examination.
At the end of secondary school studies (High School), students are required to take a national exam that sanctions their studies in order to obtain the baccalaureate certificate.
