Lebanon
Index
In 1987, five years of primary education was mandatory and
available free to all Lebanese children. The curriculum of grades
one through five was mostly academic, and Arabic was the major
language of instruction. French and English were also major
languages of instruction in private schools, although foreign
languages were taught in public schools as well
(see table _,
Private Elementary Schools, Appendix). No certification was awarded
upon completion of the primary cycle. At the end of the fifth
grade, the student qualified for admission to the four-year
intermediate cycle, or the seven-year secondary cycle.
