One
of my two classes of "Seconde"
students. These students are in the second cycle of secondary school, having already
passed their BEPC exam, and they will have two more years of education after
this year before they have to tackle the challenging "BAC" test
(Baccalaureate). They have chosen the mathematics/science track, and they
range in age from about 17 to about 21. There are 70 students in this class (only 8
girls), which is a smaller class size than in many of the surrounding
villages, although the villages do not have second-cycle schools.
At this
school, only two students have to sit at each table. Several students were
absent this day because of confusion over whether there would be a strike. Spring

<The
1o-A ("Première") class moves to one side of the
room to fit in the picture with Mr. KONATE, their German teacher. This
class has chosen the general literary/humanities track, rather than the
mathematics and science track. (The première is the year after the
seconde.)
