The Évaluation des Acquis Scolaires des Élèves de CM2 was administered in 2012 by the Direction de la Planification de l'Éducation, Ministère de l'Éducation Nationale to grade 5 (ISCED 1) students in public, private and community schools. Community schools are schools created at the initiative of parents, individuals, associations or Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Community schools benefit the same advantages as the public schools (parental contributions reduction, allocation of civil servant teachers).

(See separate Catalogue entry for details about the PASEC, Programme d'Analyse des Systèmes Educatifs de la CONFEMEN).
