Training
The Seychelles have since 1991 divided a school system
into a six-year primary and a four-year secondary, both
mandatory. Schooling is free of charge. In principle, all
children attend school, girls to the same extent as boys. A
fifth secondary year within the framework of a national
one-year education (National Youth Service, NYS)
is voluntary but necessary for higher studies. NYS is an
internship where theoretical studies are interspersed with
everyday practice. Check topschoolsintheusa for test centers of ACT, SAT, and GRE as well high schools in the country of Seychelles.
The stage after NYS is Seychelles Polytechnic,
which offers both theoretical and vocational secondary
education. Initially, teaching language is Creole, then
English and French are introduced. The Seychelles lacked a
college system for a long time, but since 2009 there is a
university in the country. Reading and writing skills among
the population over 15 years were estimated in 2008 to be
92% (91.5% for men and 92.5% for women).
