Secondary Education
 

Grades 10 to 12 at secondary school complete the Libyan schooling cycle at general level, where students may choose between science and arts to prepare to go on to university.

Should they prefer to go to technical secondary school instead, then they may spend 4 years studying one of economics, arts and media, biology, engineering or social sciences there, with a view to perhaps spending time at a higher institution later too.

 
Vocational Education
 

Vocational education programs are available to pupils who do not complete their 9 years of basic education, although they may complete their basic education while completing their vocational education.

Many programs are available in fields as diverse as electrical & mechanical, building & carpentry, architecture, agriculture and marine fishing.
