Upper secondary education caters to students aged 15 to 18 and prepares them for higher education or vocational training. This stage is divided into two main streams: general and technological. The general track (Lycée général) offers a broad range of subjects such as mathematics, literature, foreign languages, sciences, philosophy, and social sciences, leading to the Baccalauréat (Bac) examination, which is a prerequisite for university admission. The technological track (Lycée technologique) focuses on specialized subjects related to fields like sciences, economics, social sciences, or technology, and also culminates in the Bac examination.
