Question 10733 — teaching

Summary

Ms Émilie Guerel questions the Minister of National Education about the place of regional languages ​​in public education. Indeed, if successive governments have regularly expressed their interest and consideration for these languages, no precise regulatory framework has yet been set, despite article 75-1 of the Constitution which indicates that “regional languages ​​belong to the heritage of France”. Gold the teaching of these languages ​​is today confronted with numerous difficulties. For example, that of Occitan-langue d'oc must face increasingly threatening constraints for the existence of the language: disproportion between needs and the number of positions allocated each year to the recruitment competition for secondary teachers (CAPES d'Occitan-langue d'oc), difficulty in locally ensuring the continuity of language teaching between primary, secondary and higher education, absence, in certain academies, of any teacher training system, disparity of situations from one academy to another. Article 2 of the Constitution, amended in June 1992, states that “the language of the Republic is French”, which no one questions. However, in its current formulation, this article is regularly invoked to prevent any progress in favor of the diversity of regional languages, thus creating confusion between the notions of “common language” and “single language”. An amendment aiming to add the terms “with respect for regional languages” had, moreover, already been rejected. This is why it is appropriate today to allow a new debate on this subject, particularly in the context of the reform of the Constitution, currently under study. She would therefore like to know whether, on this theme, the Government has the ambition to put in place a real national policy, coherent and dynamic with specific resources allocated to the teaching of regional languages ​​in schools of the Republic, making it possible to strengthen, among other things, information to families on the cognitive and civic interest of learning these languages.
