The primary aim of the differentiated first grade is to lead students to mastery of the skills required at the end of the second stage of the educational continuum.

The timetables reflect the importance attached to the acquisition of basic skills, particularly in French and mathematics, while allowing sufficient flexibility to adapt the timetables to the specific needs of students in this differentiated first grade.

The main objective of this differentiated first grade is to enable pupils who do not have the Certificat d’Etudes de Base (CEB) to acquire it.
