Togo Terminale School Subjects - French

The Togolese education system is modeled after the French system, with French being the language of instruction. While precise details on the Togo Terminale French curriculum are not readily available, the French Terminale curriculum provides a close approximation. The final year of secondary school, Terminale, prepares students for the baccalauréat exam.

General Curriculum (Baccalauréat Général):

Students pursuing the baccalauréat général take core subjects, including French, two foreign languages, history and geography, science, and sports. They also choose three specialty subjects in Première (the year before Terminale), dropping one in Terminale. Philosophy is introduced as a course in Terminale.

Core Curriculum Example (May vary in Togo):

• French (4 hours per week)
• History and Geography (3 hours per week)
• Foreign Languages (English + another language – 4.5 hours per week)
• Sciences (2 hours per week)
• Sport (2 hours per week)
• Moral and Civic Education (18 hours per year)

Additional Information:

• The University of Ottawa requires a minimum average of 13/20 and passing grades in five subjects (including prerequisites) in the classe terminale for Togolese applicants. Requirements may vary depending on the program.
• French is the official language of Togo and the language of instruction at all levels.
• The Togolese baccalaureate, like the French baccalauréat, serves as the university entrance exam.
