Assessment and Promotion:
Annual promotion is based on both written and oral examinations, as well as teacher assessments. Students are assessed on their French and mathematics skills at the beginning of the consolidation cycle, which occurs at the middle stage of elementary schooling. Those who do not reach the required standards must repeat the class.
