WHO CAN ENROLL?
A person may enroll in the Adult Elementary School program if they:
- has completed the required elementary school curriculum or the curriculum of an elementary school with an adapted program that meets an equivalent educational standard, but has not graduated from elementary school, or
- completed an adapted elementary school curriculum designed for students with lower academic standards.
A person who is at least 15 years old may also register if:
- It is not possible to determine whether she has completed her elementary school education or fulfilled her elementary school requirement.
- did not complete elementary school or fulfill her elementary school obligations due to exceptional circumstances that endangered her life (e.g., war, natural disasters).
The training is free.
