Education in France

In 1802, Napoléon Bonaparte created the lycée.[217] Nevertheless it is Jules Ferry who is considered to be the father of the French modern school, which is free, secular, and compulsory until the age of 13 since 1882[218] (school attendace in France is now compulsory until the age of 16[219]).

Nowadays, the schooling system in France is centralized, and is composed of three stages, primary education, secondary education, and higher education. The Programme for International Student Assessment, coordinated by the OECD, currently ranks France's education as the 25th best in the world, being neither significantly higher nor lower than the OECD average.[220] Primary and secondary education are predominantly public, run by the Ministry of National Education.
