Question 14849 — nursery and primary education

Summary

Mr. Alexandre Allegret-Pilot draws the attention of the Minister of National Education to the decision recently taken by the management of the departmental services of national education (DSDEN) of Gard to close classes in several schools in the Cévennes region, in particular at the Paul Langevin school in Salles-du-Gardon, at the Trescol school in La Grand-Combe and at the Hector Malot school in Bessèges. This decision taken gives rise to a concern for parents, teachers and also local elected officials, who struggle to understand its foundations in light of the realities on the ground. In these Gard communes, marked by social and economic fragilities, the school plays an elementary role. It is not limited to its educational mission, it directly participates in local life, social cohesion and maintaining the attractiveness of the territory. His presence and its operating conditions are therefore determining. The closure of these classes has immediate consequences. It will lead to an increase in numbers in the remaining classes, with the result being degraded learning conditions for students and a reduction in individualized monitoring, which is nevertheless essential, particularly for those experiencing difficulties. It will also increase the workload of the teams educational, already fully engaged. Beyond these direct effects, these decisions fuel a broader feeling of decline in public services in rural areas, which are already fragile. Also, he asks him to please specify the elements which led the DSDEN of Gard to stop these class closures, as well as the levers available to the Government to reassess these decisions in the light of local specificities. He also wishes to know what measures could be considered in order to guarantee satisfactory teaching conditions and preserve the territorial balance in these municipalities.
