In Cameroon, at the end of primary school, colleges and high schools welcome all school children. They follow the first four years of secondary level: the sixth, the fifth, the fourth and the third, which lead to the Brevet d’études du premier cycle (BEPC). Then, students can continue their education in general or technological education. This time over three years: the second, the first and the final. The first year student will take the probationary exam at the end of the year. Finally, the baccalaureate will be validated at the end of the second cycle.
