Socle Commun de Connaissances, de Competences et de Culture

France's common core framework for compulsory education, first established in law in 2005 and substantially revised in 2015, defining the knowledge, competencies and culture every student must acquire by the end of compulsory schooling at age 16. It organizes learning around five broad domains, including languages for communication, methods and tools for learning, and understanding the world, and is implemented through cycle-based programmes set by the Conseil superieur des programmes.
