Senegal Lower Secondary Education (Grade 7-9)

The lower secondary education cycle in Senegal spans four years, from grade 7 to grade 9, culminating in the Brevet d'Études du Premier Cycle (BEPC) examination. The education system is modeled after the French system. French is the primary language of instruction, although national indigenous languages and Arabic are also part of teacher training.

While specific elective subjects for 9th grade are not readily available, the lower secondary curriculum generally includes core subjects like French, Mathematics, Science, History, and Geography.
