The exam used is based on the paper of the European Baccalaureate.

The first awards of the European Baccalaureate were made in 1959.

Students who pass their final exams in the last year receive a European Baccalaureate.

The school has offered the European Baccalaureate since 1968.

The European Baccalaureate is taken at the end of the seventh year of secondary education.

I am most concerned by the Commissioner's suggestion that the option of offering the European baccalaureate outside the current school system should be considered.

Students get more freedom in their choices and choose the subjects that they will take for their European Baccalaureate.

The first European Baccalaureate in Karlsruhe was held during July 1968.

Students prepare for the European Baccalaureate.

There is also the European Baccalaureate which students take at the end of the European School education.

European Baccalaureate (examination used mainly in the European School system)

Is the Commission suggesting that the European baccalaureate should be available in schools other than the European schools?

The European baccalaureate awarded to pupils is their passport to university and certifies the European profile of future workers.

The school is known for high standards in languages; the European Baccalaureate requires students to study many subjects in their second or third languages.

They are established to provide education solely for children of personnel of the European Institutions and leading to the European Baccalaureate.

The European Baccalaureate (or EB) is awarded to students who pass the final year exam at an European School.

The European Baccalaureate is administered and directly supervised by an external examining board appointed annually by the Board of Governors.

The first European Baccalaureate was held there in July 1959 and the qualification was recognised as fulfilling basic entrance requirements by all universities of the member states.

However, some universities also require applicants to take separate entrance examinations and the International Baccalaureate and European Baccalaureate are also accepted.

Willem Buiter went to the European School, in Brussels, Belgium, from 1962 to 1967, where he obtained his European Baccalaureate.

As far as a European baccalaureate is concerned, I agree with the view that all Member States should be called on to ensure that it becomes more widely available.

From 2001 to 2002 he taught philosophy at the École européenne Bruxellensis II (European Baccalaureate, Anglophone Section, 6th and 7th years).

After obtaining the French European Baccalaureate at the Lycée Français de Vienne in 1990, he studied management and Marketing at the European Business School Paris.

Details of this examination are set out in the Annex of the Statute of the European School and in the Regulations for the European Baccalaureate, available from the schools.

In conclusion, I should like to lend my support to calls for the introduction of an alternative leaving certificate, in addition to the highly academic European Baccalaureate, for pupils who decide to study vocational subjects.
