One typical example is Uzbekistan, where all high schools were replaced with lyceums ({{Lang|ru-latn|litsey}} is the Russian term, derived from French {{Lang|fr|lycée}}), offering a three-year educational program with a certain major in a certain direction. Unlike Turkey, Uzbek lyceums do not hold university entrance examinations, which gives students the right to enter a university, but they hold a kind of mock examination which is designed to test their eligibility for a certain university.
