Question 15018 — nursery and primary education

Summary

Mr. Damien Maudet draws the attention of the Minister of National Education to the class closures planned for the 2026-2027 school year. Everywhere in France, class reductions have been announced. In Haute-Vienne, 27 closures were initially planned. Thanks to the mobilization of parent groups, trade union organizations and elected officials, the last departmental national education committee withdrew four schools from the list: the school of Saint-Victurnien, Aixe-sur-Vienne, the RPI Blond-Berneuil and the RPI of Châtenet-en-Dognon/Saint-Martin-Terressus. Despite this, the 2026 2027 school map will still include 23 closures in the department. All corners of the territory are affected: Limoges, Feytiat, Ambazac, Eymoutiers, Saint-Denis-des-Murs, etc. These decisions are not simple accounting adjustments. These are savings on the backs of children. This even creates a completely illogical situation: while the number of children falls in the country, the number of children per class will increase. Class closures go against the well-being of children, who will have to learn in classes with sometimes 28 students. These deteriorations in learning conditions add to an already tense situation for which the MP is still waiting for concrete answers. On the replacements, since 1,200 days of teacher absences have not been replaced, or even on disability where many students do not have companions to follow them in class. These reductions in resources for national education will have significant effects on the lives of families and on the attractiveness of municipalities. They reduce access to public services and accelerate demographic decline in the most rural areas. Of Furthermore, decisions are taken vertically, without real exchange, which leads to measures adopted without consultation with elected officials and local stakeholders, who find themselves faced with a fait accompli and forced to apply them. In this context, these decision-making methods reinforce a feeling of being sidelined by certain departments. Furthermore, these budget cuts are the result of a non-censorship agreement concluded between different political forces when considering the state budget. This agreement therefore has direct consequences for children and communities. In this context, he asks him if he will reverse these class closures and commit to putting in place the necessary means to guarantee dignified learning conditions for all children, regardless of their place of residence.
