![]() Thus, education in one of the oldest and most elite schools – Ecole de Roches – in 2011 was worth 30,000 euros per academic year. Tuition at private schools is dependent on many factors, but, in general, is not particularly prohibitive within European frameworks. Figure 1 shows two types of schools based on their relationship with the state: subsidized (sous contrat) and unsubsidized (hors contrat). Private schools mostly are paid for the students, but less constrained by government frameworks – also provide its graduates with diplomas of state standard. In the public school education is free, but there are private alternatives. The education of state standard is compulsory for children from 6 to 16 years. The current French system of secondary education, like most European systems, consists of three stages – primary (ecole primaire, from 6 to 11 years) and secondary (college – from 11 to 15 years), and then lyceum (lycee – from 16 to 18).
