Dear Becky,
I'm happy to help you in your project on schools in other countries. The pre-university educational system in Algeria consists of three important stages. First, pupils go to primary / elementary school at six. They study there for five years. At the age of eleven, they take a final primary school exam. If they succeed, they move to middle school. The middle school goes for 4 years, from MS 1 to MS 4. students take the Brevet Exam at the end of MS 4. If they manage to get a pass, they will go to the lycée. There are many streams in the lycée. Students can choose at the end of the second year in the lycée the stream which they like best if they take the Baccalaureate Exam. The baccalaureate is a diploma which allows its holders to register at university.
I hope this information will help you get a good score in your project.
Best wishes,
Meriem
