Education in France

France’s ministry of education has moved 2,500 servers from 30 local education authorities to Linux as part of their open source investment. This comes in an attempt to avoid lock in contracts with vendors. The cost of proprietary licenses along with forced upgrades are something they hope to avoid by eventually moving all systems to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

While getting a education in France make sure your child has liability insurance. This type of insurance is not mandatory but is a good idea. Your current insurance may provide coverage but for a few extra Euro you can make sure your child is covered for any type of situation that may arise. Insurance cost will vary depending on the type, level of compensation, and your deductible. Spend some time looking into what kind of insurance is best for you.

Education in France includes apprenticeships especially for the youth who are not taking higher education. Young people who are finishing school at 16 often attend a tech college for apprenticeship. Apprenticeships are given to people from 16 to 26 years of age. In order to qualify for a apprenticeship applicants must have completed regular schooling. French apprenticeships are considered the best in the world. While in training they receive a wage that varies on their level of experience.
