Question 14340 — foreigners

Summary

Mr. Pierre Person draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the case of unaccompanied foreign minors and the measures implemented to enable their schooling. In 2017, nearly 25,000 unaccompanied foreign minors (UMAs) or unaccompanied foreign minors were recorded in France. A number growing by nearly 85% in two years, and surely below reality, given the difficulties identification and the need for a double “social evaluation of the minority and the family isolation of the unaccompanied minor” to characterize the age of the isolated individual. The care of these young people is today complex, with the various local authorities having expressed their reluctance due to lack of resources. Questions related to the security and accommodation of these young people - some living on the street, as near of 400 young people during the winter of 2017-2018 in Paris - are often mentioned. However, that of their schooling is just as crucial and must now be clarified. Being able to be educated, learn French and the basics of calculation are a major challenge in order to allow these young people, in the long term, to benefit from training, to gain their independence and to integrate into society. As mentioned in article L. 111-1 al. 5 of the code education, unaccompanied foreign minors must be able to benefit from the right to education. They then join the system for welcoming allophone children - within the framework of academic centers for the education of newly arrived allophone children and children from itinerant and traveling families (CASNAV) - notably implemented through child welfare (under the supervision of the departments). Today, however, this system seems to be outdated, the assignment time and the reception rate having deteriorated significantly. The difficulty of consultation between the rectorate and departmental services is particularly mentioned. Also, he would like to know if improvements to the current system are envisaged, in order to overcome these administrative difficulties and make the schooling of each young isolated (foreign) minor effective.
