OBS

Dans le vocabulaire scolaire, ni le semestre ni le trimestre n'ont la durée exacte que leur désignation semble indiquer. On a le choix entre semestre et trimestre suivant que l'année est divisée en deux, en trois ou en quatre parties. Il ne peut y avoir que deux semestres; par contre le nombre de trimestres peut être de trois ou quatre.
