- LOWER SECONDARY EDUCATION
- Upon completion of elementary education students who qualify may
attend lower secondary (or “intermediate”) studies.
Intermediate education is offered in day and evening programmes
to accommodate those who because of their jobs or age cannot attend
normal daytime classes. It is also possible for students to apply for
the final examinations at this stage, without having to attend classes.

their role in society. Physical education is replaced by coursework in
women’s and art education.
