Seychelles Education
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.
