In 2013, the OECD attributed a bad note to France. The country is ranked among the most unequal classification according to the triennial PISA (Program for International Student). Nearly a quarter of results in mathematics (22.5%) are directly related to socio-economic backgrounds, against 15% on average in the OECD. Already strongly contested on the reform of college, no question Najat Vallaud-Belkacem a “big night” of school board imposed from above. Politically undermined one year of a presidential election. The method will be that of experimentation in “pilot territories”. As from September 2016, in twenty departments, between 30 and 50 different colleges so welcome students profiles.
Affirmative soon test
In the method, the minister spoke this morning of “multi-sector colleges.” In very marked by territorial segregation, the logic of the school map which a residential sector depends a facility would no longer be needed. It would be replaced by the extended sectorisation said multi-institutional or multi-college, or a wider area with several institutions. “This method already exists in Belgium and bears fruit in socially heterogeneous neighborhoods. We talk little but since 2008 it is already applied in the academy of Paris for high schools with stock bonuses. This bonus has favored access for the most disadvantaged students in general high schools and most requested technology. In these establishments, segregation declined by one third, “said Julien Grenet, researcher at CNRS and the Paris School of Economics.
Probably, parents of students in the areas concerned will also make vows in order of preference from several colleges. Will have priority, students with disabilities or undergoing medical treatment at a nearby establishment. For the rest, it will be well social criteria that will motivate the assignment of a particular student. “A scholarship student could for example get his first vows, but now a scholarship is awarded during the year of 6 th , one might ask families to provide their cases before the college entrance. The Caisse d’family allowance could also provide information “imagine Julien Grenet who speaks in this case of positive discrimination.
” attractive educational offer “to replace bilangues classes
Vallaud Najat -Belkacem defended herself this morning of all enforcement actions and put on the “attractive educational offer” of these multi-sector colleges to address social inequalities. For Senator (LR) Fabienne Keller authored a background report on colleges in sensitive areas, “the minister just trying to correct the very negative effects of the removal of bilangues classes.” “These classes were attractive, they gave inspire the most motivated students to parents to let their children in establishing their industry,” according to her
Social segregation cities:. The limits of the experimentation
Anyway to avoid these avoidance strategies of the school board as the placement in private institutions, for that experimentation does an “attractive educational offer” is imperative for Stephane Troussel, the socialist president of the County Council of Seine-Saint-Denis, volunteered for this experiment “in my department we’re done with the garbage colleges, many investments such as sports and digital equipment has been made. But for mixed work, you need an attractive educational offer, a study sports industry courses or learning Chinese for example. ” A department as Seine-Saint-Denis is also socially homogeneous rather symptomatic of the limits of experimentation. “Until there is no significant population change, the flexibility is low. Make the mix in a city like Clichy-sous-Bois is necessarily more complicated, “admits Stéphane Troussel which adds:” we must not to blame social inequalities in school but on the policies of the city ” .
No widespread experimentation with social mix in schools, but an evaluation of the results is scheduled for December 2016. The opportunity to see at this point if France goes back in the PISA rankings .
