Grade 9
Grade 9 is the American equivalent for 3eme
The 1 stands for the number of the class among other classes of the same grade. Therefore, you would normally have 3eme 1, 3eme 2...
This is because there are too many pupils to fit in only one class so we have to divide them.

Schools in Ivory Coast have the same rules as in France, hence the division of classes of the same level is the same.
