The French education system offers an inflexible approach to education; one where the teacher has

absolute authority,, where high academic standards are demanded in reading, writing and
arithmetic. The French don't expect children to have 'fun' at school

In India, the education system includes both public and private schools. While public schools are
typically more affordable, private schools often provide higher-quality education and
better infrastructure.

A private school in India is autonomous and generates its own funding through various sources like
student tuition, private grants and endowments. A public school is government funded and all
students attend free of cost Parents may prefer private schools for their smaller class sizes,
specialized curricula, and greater access to extracurricular activities, but the high cost can make them
an unaffordable option for many families
Public French schools (écoles publiques) are also free, co-ed, and secular. Conversely, private schools
can choose to be single-sex or have a religious affiliation, although this represents a minority of
France's private schools. They are almost always fee-paying, although the scale varies greatly

Private primary schools in France. About 14% of French children attend private primary schools
(écoles privées or écoles libres). They often have smaller class sizes, provide more individual
attention and have better facilities than state schools.

There are three types of lycée in France:

lycée général which leads towards further studies in higher education.

lycée technologique which offers shorter studies.

lycée professionnel which trains students in a particular profession in fields such as hospitality &
catering, mechanics, industrial design and sales.

Studying at an école In France, on the other hand, often comes at a higher cost. On average,
according to l'Étudiant, a grande école program in France will run you around 12,400 € per year.
However, some of the most popular grandes écoles that anglophones set their hearts on are even
pricier

The cost of education varies in India from one school to the other, whether it is a government or
private school. On a usual basis, in tier 1 and tier 2 cities, the tuition fees of private schools are
somewhere around Rs 2,500 to Rs 8,000 every month

In India, students would be completing secondary education in their 10th and take 11th and 12th as
Junior college or pre-university. Students in France take the Baccalauréat exam, which is a centralised
exam for students all across France, at the end of their 12th year

Similar to the USA, France also follows K-12 system as against the K+10+2 system that is followed in
India. Kindergarten in India is equivalent to Ecole maternelle in France

EDUCATION SYSTEM: In India, the education system is quite rigid where students are forced to study
all the subjects during their schooling. A student cannot skip these subjects and less importance is
given to extracurricular activities and Physical Education while more attention is given to subjects
such as Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. The French education system is quite flexible as
compared to our Indian education system. France ranks 3rd globally in education and also offers
access to highly ranked Educational institutions with intensive teaching, several student beneficial
facilities, and these institutions are very affordable as well

GRADING SYSTEM: The Grading system in India is generally based on a percentage of the marks
obtained by the student. The students are taught textual matter and are expected to present their
answers exactly as they are given in the textbooks for maximum marks in their tests and exams. The
French grading system differs from any other grading system for secondary education. The students
are assigned their ranks in numbers ranging from 0 to 20. Grades like 20 or 19 are rarely given and
any score above 15 is considered to be excellent. On the time graduation, the graduate receives the
French Baccalaureate with honors, and mentions such as ‘Assez Bien’, ‘Bien’, and ‘Très Bien’ is given
