Question 11025 — teaching

Summary

Ms. Amélia Lakrafi draws the attention of the Minister of National Education to the consequences of the sharp increase in prices charged by the National Center for Distance Education (CNED), with regard to their international service. Between 2013 and 2016, the registration fees applied by this organization to residents abroad have in fact tripled, thus currently bringing the follow-up of a course in primary, middle and high school respectively at 795 euros, 800 euros and 850 euros annually, for the exclusive sending of educational materials digitally. Without calling into question the legitimate reasons which led the CNED to update its price list, to put an end, in particular, to a situation which led this body to bear significant costs from its own funds, the massive increase in the “remaining cost” for families raises several questions. On the one hand, the scheduling of this catch-up over three years was decided with the aim of not having too sudden an impact on the budget of users of this service. However, the increase in the prices in force for people established outside France has been made in proposals such that many households no longer have the means to pay for this service and are obliged to give up offering their children this additional teaching yet very useful for their future integration. On the other hand, if the revaluation of CNED prices internationally can be understood for the sending of educational materials in paper version and by post, the digital transmission of these documents to users is not likely to generate additional costs for the organization. According to the testimonies brought to his attention, the price of this type of service dematerialized would however vary depending on whether you reside in France or abroad. This overcharging is all the more poorly understood since the use of this service for families living abroad is very often essential to enable their children to have quality education, facilitating both subsequent reintegration into an “ordinary” course and pathways to higher French diplomas. Considering In this context, she would like to be aware of the measures that could be considered to strengthen the access of French people living abroad to the teaching provided by the CNED as well as the establishment of a more transparent price scale justifying the reasons for certain additional costs charged to families.
