France's healthcare and education systems
1.
2. The French health care system is generally
recognised as offering one of the best,
services of public health care in the world.
3. The French health care system is funded in part
by obligatory health contributions levied on all
salaries, and paid by employers, employees and
the self employed; in part by central government
funding; and in part by users.
France is the highest spender on healthcare
within the EU, in terms of GDP percentage. It
currently spends around 11.5% of GDP. Only
Switzerland (12.3%) spends more within the
EU/EFTA nations.
4. France’s state health insurance covers between
70-100% of costs for things such as doctor visits
and hospital costs. Low income and long-term
sick patients receive 100% coverage.
the cost of medicines in France is among the
lowest in Europe (about 10% less than in the UK)
Reimbursement of expenses for the purchase of
prescription drugs is at least 15% of their cost,
and in some cases - 100%.
5. The primary care provider in France is therapists
(médecins généralistes).You can choose a therapist
yourself. In the future, it is this doctor who directs the
patient for examinations and issues referrals to
narrow specialists.
The cost of the services of therapists in public clinics is
usually standard and ranges from 23 to 25 euros
In France, every citizen has the right to undergo free
preventive examinations every two years. Specific
examination programs vary depending on age, risk
factors, and occupational conditions.
6. According to the latest OECD/PISA world
rankings (2012), France dropped three places for
educational standards for 15-year olds. It is now
in 25th out of 65 countries, with 43% of students
having difficulty in mathematics and with a
widening equality gap within the school
population.
Education in France from primary to secondary
i.e. 6 to 16 is free and required. Schools in France
are divided into public and private. About 20% of
all students in France study in private
educational institutions.
7. The first educational stage - elementary
school - involves training for 5 years in a wide
range of disciplines.The secondary school is
called college: they study here for 4 years.
Studying proceeds in one of three directions:
general education, technical class or
professional.The duration of study in
general education lyceums is 3 years.
The bachelor's
dimple gives the
opportunity to
enter the
university
immediately
after graduation.
If you have a
professional
diploma, you will
need to unlearn a
year at a lyceum
in order to pass
the bachelor's
exam.
8. Private schools in France can be roughly
divided into 2 categories - these are schools
that work under a contract with the state
(sous contrat d'association) and free schools
(école libre). Contract schools follow the
national educational plan and are partially
subsidized by the state.
Cost of education :
Private school -15 000-20 000€.
Contracts-25000 in year.
9. French universities provide about 800
programs that are taught entirely in English.
The course of higher education in France
consists of three cycles - two main (lasting
two to three years) and an additional one,
which is comparable to graduate school and
is a cycle of postgraduate education.
10. State universities provide applicants with about
30% of budget-funded places, all the rest of the
education is paid. Studying at a state university
will cost about 150-500 EUR per year, this is the
registration fee, all other expenses are paid by
the state, students are also entitled to a
scholarship (about 100 EUR per month).
In private universities, tuition costs from 10,000
to 20,000 EUR per year, depending on the
chosen specialty, per year of study.
