Togo Collège (Lower Secondary) History

The Togolese education system follows a 2-6-4-3 structure: 2 years of pre-school, 6 years of primary school, 4 years of lower secondary school (collège), and 3 years of upper secondary school (lycée). Lower secondary education is offered at collèges d'enseignement général and culminates in the Brevet d'Études du Premier Cycle du Second Degré (BEPC) exam.

While specific details about the lower secondary history curriculum are unavailable, some information can be gleaned from various sources. A course offered by the University of Lomé focuses on the history and geography curricula for the 4ème and 3ème levels of lower secondary school. News articles from September 2022 reported on reforms to the education system, including changes to the history and geography curriculum, with the Second World War being replaced with a focus on "Europe in the world." One article mentions the decolonization of Togo as a topic covered in 3ème. A video discusses Togo's efforts to decolonize its education system.
