lycĂ©e dâenseignement professionnel
Quick Summary
A lycée d'enseignement professionnel (LEP) is a type of vocational secondary school in France that offers technical and vocational studies. These programs provide students with qualifications that can lead to further studies in higher education. Students in an LEP choose a course of study that prepares them for one of approximately 30 different technical baccalauréats.1
The French education system, reorganized in the late 20th century, divides lycées into two main types: general and technological (LEGT) and vocational (LEP). The LEGT prepares students for the baccalauréat required for university admission, while the LEP focuses on practical skills and technical training. The baccalauréat examination is taken at the end of upper secondary education and qualifies students for university entrance.12
