France is known worldwide for its inclusive education system, and the French ‘Lycée’ is now an international option. The index for access to basic knowledge in France is a strong 62.5, with primary school enrollment at 57.8, and adult literacy at 57.5 on the scale. The country offers compulsory education for children between the age of 6 and 16 years; the compulsory education includes elementary, and the initial four years of secondary college. Public education is available for free and children must generally be enrolled in schools near their homes. 80% of the students in France attend public schools while only about 20% are in private schools. Most of the private schools are run by the Catholic Church and the teachers are paid by the state. These schools charge low fees and this makes them accessible to students from various socio-economic backgrounds.
