The high school programs are not different than the programs in the United States. The main distinction in the classroom structure is that the teachers, instead of students, go from class to class. Although general lycees remain the core of the secondary sector, there has recently been a growing emphasis on expanding the number and capacity of technical and vocational lycees. Courses in technical lycees are designed to prepare students either for professional life or for further studying. Lycees Meteorology Vocational Lycee Animal Husbandry Vocational Lycee Land Registration and Cadastre Vocational Lycee Courses in these lycees are designed to prepare students for working life in their particular fields.
Graduates can also apply for higher education.
In order to provide further opportunities for the children with limited finances, there are high schools with boarding facilities. These schools are free of charge and the students are placed according to the results of an examination. With limited exceptions, high schools are at large owned by the government and provide free educational opportunities. Graduates of these high schools can attend universities after the university entrance examination. The centralized examination is administrated by the Supreme Council of Higher Education and determines candidates for the enrollment of each university and faculty after evaluating the grades of related subjects, their high school results and their preferences according to the student capacity of each faculty.
