Question 15468 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Tematai Le Gayic draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the extension or creation of priority education networks throughout Maohi Nui. Priority education is based on the observation of a strong correlation between the socio-economic level of families and the academic performance of students. There are two levels of intervention: the REPs, which bring together colleges and schools experiencing social difficulties more significant than those of colleges and schools excluding priority education and REP+ which concern isolated neighborhoods and sectors which experience the greatest concentrations of difficulties in the territory. At the national level, the list of priority education networks is established every four years by the ministry in charge of national education. In 2020, there were 1,093 education networks priority, including 729 colleges and 4,195 schools in REP, and 363 colleges and 2,456 schools in REP+. For comparison, Martinique today has 22 REP+ colleges and 113 schools for a population which stood at 364,508 people in January 2019. Maohi nui, with a population of nearly 300,000 people, has only three priority education networks (REP+) created in Faa'a, Papara and the Tuamotu archipelago, in 2015 : we there are 27 schools and 5 colleges in REP+. In its 2021 territorial diagnosis, the Statistical Institute of French Polynesia (ISPF) recalls that 60% of Maohi Nui live below the low metropolitan income threshold, according to the 2015 Family Budget survey, with a structurally low employment rate (53%) and in the absence of an unemployment fund and social shock absorbers such as unemployment benefit. The price level is at least 39% higher in Maohi nui than in France. On the teaching staff side, the situation is critical because it turns out that this precariousness constitutes one of the factors causing behavioral problems which cannot be addressed by teachers who are in charge of around thirty students per class. In fact, they are seeing a sharp increase in cases of virtual autism or even dyslexia. The main requests from the teaching staff lies in reducing the number of students per class and creating positions specializing in behavioral disorders. The competence of teaching 1st and 2nd degree belongs to Maohi nui. Thus, the extension of REP+ or the creation of specific priority education networks belongs to the Maohi Nui Council of Ministers. However, state support in such a project is decisive. He asks him if the State is ready to initiate talks to reach an agreement that would allow the extension or creation of priority education networks throughout Maohi Nui.
