	'''Secondary level''' Secondary education lasts a total of seven years and is divided into two cycles. The first cycle - junior high school - is a four year programme leading to an exam for the junior high school completion diploma. At this point a student may progress either to senior high school or to vocational education to train as primary school teachers, nurses, midwives, police, customs or public administration clerks. Senior high school lasts for three years ending with the secondary school leaving degree (Baccalauréat) which allows the student to progress to university.
