Question 14112 — teaching

Summary

Mr. Philippe Chassaing draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the difficulties encountered by educational establishments which welcome and educate refugee children, from nursery school to college, within the framework of the UPE2A system. Support and integration into their classes of these arriving children who speak no or very little French, who have sometimes never been to school, or who have been in Koranic schools, require special care and dedicated human, material and financial resources. However, some of these schools have indicated that they have to arbitrate between the support granted to students in the UPE2A system and the support granted to other children in school, which is obviously poorly accepted by families. In her constituency, the head of a college has alerted at the end of the 2017-2018 school year about the difficulty she had in closing her budget due to the inadequacy between the funding that had been allocated to her compared to the realities of her college. In fact, it is the very first establishment in Dordogne to open a class intended for arriving non-speaking students. This rural college, which today receives 23 students as part of the UPE2A, has not seen its resources increase to as much. The 3,000 euros allocated to this college from social funds were entirely used to cover tuition, accommodation and canteen costs for two students covered by the UPE2A system. It was a case of extreme urgency which required the arbitration of the head of the establishment, which does not contribute to the successful integration of these children into the school. This is the reason why he wishes to alert him of the risk incurred by this type of educational establishment. He asks him if it is possible to ensure that the social funds allocated to establishments no longer depend only on the number of establishments but on their real needs. If certain establishments manage a boarding school, in rural areas, and do everything possible to include allophone children, disabled children or children with great social or academic difficulties, cannot we attribute to them additional social funds based on objective criteria? It is not possible to let them arbitrate the distribution of solidarity funds themselves and create unequal treatment between families who would be even more deprived than others. He asks him what the Government's position is on these questions.
