From this text you will be able to get a solid sense of the writing style, the concepts addressed, and the sources used in the research paper. The sources of the French success appears to be a focus on fundamentalcourses, such as language and mathematics, and an unwavering application ofstrict learning standards. This instruction leads studentsto the baccalauréat or to the baccalauréat de technicien examination afterthree years of study. The instruction is forchildren aged six-to-11 years old. 1. France made a decision to increase spending on education.Simultaneously, the French government established new goals for Frencheducation below the postsecondary education level. This level of education iscompulsory in France (Hunter, 1995, p. This instruction iscompulsory only through age 16 years old. 3 2-3 4). (1991, 23 November). 78-8 ). Performance of the Education System By the spring of 1992, France had implemented a new technical skillsprogram to upgrade vocational education (Campinos-Dubernet, 1992, pp. Virtually allchildren in this age group receive pre-school instruction in France, andapproximately 8 percent of these children receive such instruction in thepublic primary schools at no cost for tuition (Topolnicki & Sinanoglu,1993, pp. 11-15). to make the curriculum 'meaningful' or 'accessible.' About one-third ofthe kids study those least meaningful of all subjects, Latin or ancientGreek," that most American schools have dropped from the curriculum(Klebnikow, 1995, p.

A fourth of the students completingthe elementary level of instruction at that time were deficient in languageskills, and one-tenth of the students leaving school at age 16 yearpossessed insufficient qualifications for a good job. Problems recognized and improvement goals set. 3 3). Research purpose. Significant progress by 1995. The focus ofthis examination is on the pre-school through secondary levels of theeducation system. Conclusion France, as is true of most developed countries, recognized theimportance of improving education. The French established goals foreducational improvement, and are well on the way to fulfilling those goals. Introduction. By the beginning of fall in 1993, one-third of two year olds andvirtually all three year olds were receiving full-time pre-schoolinstruction in France (A for effort, 1993, p. 52). The instruction is designed to coverfive years, which includes (a) preparatory work for one year, (2)elementary work for two years, and (3) intermediate work for two years.

Hunter, B. (Ed.). France seeks to improve young people'sprospects. C. (1991, 12 October). Only 16 percent of Britishstudents successfully complete equivalent examinations, and in the UnitedStates, there are no comparable examinations-the SAT in the United Statespales by comparison in difficulty to the French baccalauréat examinationand the British "A-levels." In 1993, however, outcome problems continued to plague Frencheducation (A for effort, 1993, p. A. Core (basic) curriculum. Primary goals. Martin's Press. Lower secondary instruction. This level of education iscompulsory in France (Hunter, 1995, p. Sources of success.VI. (1992, Spring). System composition. These levels are as follows: 1. New York:St. 564). B. More that one-half ofFrench secondary students were successfully completing the baccalauréatexaminations-up from 4 percent in 1991. 53). Goals of French Education Through the Secondary Level Following a national survey of perceptions and desires for Frencheducation, the government of France developed new goals and initiatives forFrench education in 1991 (Amelan, 1991, p. The French were especially concerned in 1991 because of theexample set by Germany, and because of the high levels of youthunemployment. A. 4. Statesman's Year-Book: 1995-1996. (1995, 11 September). .. The primary new goalsfor the French education system are as follows (School, 1991, p. C. Goals of French Education Through the Secondary Level. 564). To develop a French equivalent to the German apprenticesystem. Outcome goal. 52). Funding support. 564). At parental option, childrenaged two-to-five years old may receive instruction in privately-operatedschools or in infant classes attached to primary schools. The instruction is designed to coverfour years. These academic councils administer all levels of education belowthe postsecondary level in their respective areas. B. For local educational administration, the countryis divided into 25 areas, each of which is governed by its own AcademicCouncil. Klebnikow, P. By the beginning of fall in 1995, however, French education largelywas meeting the new goals and fulfilling the promise of improved education(Klebnikow, 1995, pp. THE FRENCH EDUCATION SYSTEM Introduction This research examines the education system in France.

What are condoms made of? Continued problems. This level of education is non-compulsory in France (Hunter, 1995, p. a. The findings of this research are presented within thecontexts of (1) the structure of the education system, (2) the goals ofFrench education through the secondary level, and (3) the performance ofthe education system. Topolnicki, D. 2. Amelan, R. Attainment of this goal will increase thenumber of French students eligible for postsecondary education, and, inturn, will lead to both lower youth unemployment and increased nationalproductivity and competitiveness. 2.

A. 3 2).Rather, the answers appear to be (1) an emphasis on core educationaldisciplines, such as language and mathematics, to the exclusion of coursesoriented toward social behavior that are so prevalent in American schools-"Americans spend as much as half the class time on touchy-feely stuff. 2. Structure of the Education System. Developmental goal.IV. Funding support does not appear to be the explanation for thesuccesses attained by the French education system-per pupil spending levelsin the United States are approximately 3 percent higher than comparableFrench levels, and French class sizes are approximately 5 percent largeron average than are American class sizes (Klebnikow, 1995, p.
