General education liceum
A general education liceum (Polish:Liceum ogólnokształcące [liˈt͡sɛum ɔˌɡulnɔkʂtau̯ˈt͡sɔnt͡sɛ]) is an academic high school in the Polish educational system. They are attended by those who plan to further their academic education (i.e. attend university).
On completing the liceum, students take a final exam called a "matura" (or "maturity exam") (equivalent to the A-Level).[1] About 100 days before the exam the traditional "studniówka" (prom ball) is organized.[2]
There are several types (ages of students in brackets):
- General Liceum (16-19)
- Specialized Liceum (16-19)
- Supplementary Liceum (18-21)
