Question 16000 — nursery and primary education

Summary

Mr. Jean-Luc Mélenchon draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the situation in Marseille schools. Marseille has 444 schools. Many schools, particularly in the northern districts of the city, are in an unsanitary state which threatens the safety of children and staff. The ceilings, sometimes loaded with asbestos, collapse and water seeps into the electrical trunking. In October 2018, the collapse of the ceiling in a nursery school in the Canet district was a reminder of this deplorable situation. Bedbugs have invaded the Cabucelle and Révolution-Vaillant schools. Other establishments have to deal with rat invasions. As a solution, the city of Marseille is proposing a public-private partnership project worth 500 million euros. The project consists of destroying and rebuild around thirty establishments. The 34 targeted establishments are not the most deteriorated or the most dangerous. This contract therefore serves as a showcase for the city of Marseille but in no way resolves the situation of many schools. It also represents a financial pit since the city will have to pay “rent” for 25 years to the large group that wins the project. The dilapidated situation of many schools in Marseille undermines the principle of equality of students in access to education. The material conditions of teaching in Marseille must therefore be of interest to the Ministry of National Education and its Minister Mr. Jean-Michel Blanquer. Il therefore wants to know what initiatives the Government is ready to take to put in place an emergency plan for the renovation and security of Marseille schools.
