	Embassy of France in the U.S. - Education System in France
		France is seeing a slow aging of the population, less marked however than in other neighbouring countries (Germany and Italy), especially as the annual number of births is currently on the rise.
		France has a strong, centralized, republican tradition and has built and consolidated her identity through a school system tasked with educating her future citizens; consequently, her education system is very largely the responsibility of the State.
