SERVICE MILITAIRE

Until 1997, French men over the age of 18 who were passed as fit, and who were not in full-time higher education, were required to do ten months' service militaire. Conscientious objectors were required to do two years' community service.

Since 1997, military service has been suspended in France. However, all sixteen-year-olds, both male and female, are required to register for a compulsory one-day training course, the « journée défense et citoyenneté », which covers basic information on the principles and organization of defence in France, and also advises on career opportunities in the military and in the voluntary sector. Young people must attend the training day before their eighteenth birthday.

CLASSES PRÉPARATOIRES

After the baccalauréat very successful students may choose to attend the classes préparatoires, intensive courses organized in lycées. Students are completely immersed in their subject and do little else than prepare for the competitive grandes écoles entrance exams. If they do not succeed, two years of prépas are considered equivalent to a DEUG, and these students often continue at a university.
