CÉGEP (Collège d'enseignement général et professionnel) is Quebec's unique post-secondary system that sits between high school and university. Quebec high school ends after Grade 11, and students attend CÉGEP for either a two-year pre-university program preparing them for university or a three-year technical program leading directly to careers. CÉGEPs are publicly funded and charge minimal fees. The system was created in 1967 as part of Quebec's Quiet Revolution education reforms. Quebec has about 48 public CÉGEPs spread across the province, plus private colleges. The system reflects Quebec's distinct educational structure and is not replicated elsewhere in Canada.
