Implemented since September 2007, the MENFP deemed it necessary to revise the general education curriculum at the secondary level, which had been in place for several years. This program, organized into four streams—Life and Earth Sciences (SVT), Economics and Social Sciences (SES), Mathematics and Physical Sciences (SMP), and Languages, Literature, and Arts (LLA)—was analyzed and revised by a group of experts.

According to the Director General of MENFP, this revision was conducted with the aim of “diversifying the secondary education streams” and is based on “disciplinary fields and strengthening the competency-based approach.” Mr. Yves Roblin indicated that the MENFP is working to integrate a technological education stream into the secondary curriculum, enabling students to complete their classical studies while acquiring vocational training. This stream, he stated, will be piloted in certain public high schools during the current academic year.
