Question 11801 — nursery and primary education

Summary

Mr. Michel Larive draws the attention of the Minister of National Education to a bilingualism system which will be established in towns in the Essonne department from the start of the 2018-2019 school year. In an article in the newspaper “Le Parisien” published on June 11, 2018, a device that claims to be innovative is detailed. From September 3, 2018, students in the large section of kindergarten, CE1 and CM1 will follow part of their general lessons in English. In total, around fifteen schools will be affected in the towns of Evry, Courcouronnes, Palaiseau, Massy, ​​Orsay and Gif-sur-Yvette. The academic directorate of national education services (DASEN) of Essonne wishes to have these bilingual schools labeled so that they benefit from international recognition within two years. Develop the language skills of French students is essential, provided it is done the right way. Learning a foreign language is a plus for French students, however, replacing the French language with the English language for general teaching does not seem appropriate. It is essential to ensure that all courses are in French during this period of linguistic consolidation. A study carried out in 2015 by your ministry and unveiled in November 2016 looked at the spelling mistakes of primary school students. On the same dictation of 67 words, there were 10.7 mistakes in 1987 and 17.8 in 2015. In order to remedy this problem, it is preferable that the French language remains the main language of the children of the republic. Considering these elements, he asks him to justify the establishment of this system, at a time when France is witnessing a decline in the level of its language in the school of the Republic.
