Just 49% of French-born menaged 20-35 with Algerian parents have passed the baccalaureat, the nationalschool-leaving exam, compared with 58% of women (and 68% of the non-immigrantpopulation).
Similarly, UNESCO noted that the net enrolment ratio (NER) in pre-primary education in 2005 for children aged 3 to 5 years was 46 per cent which suggest that well over half the pre-school aged population has no access to ECE.
