Question 16907 — nursery and primary education

Summary

Ms. Catherine Jaouen draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the RPI system. Maintaining schools in rural areas is a real challenge for the territories. The impact of a class or establishment closure has harmful consequences for municipalities. In addition to school desertification, the entire local economy can be transformed, through a decline in attractiveness and services. local public. The intercommunal educational grouping brings together several schools with low numbers, most of the time by grouping levels. When it is done in a concentrated manner, the workforce is found in a single municipality. The RPI, in this version, therefore does not exclude establishment closure and in no way represents a guarantee against class closure. Faced with the risk of closure of an establishment or class in rural areas, it would be preferable to favor the so-called dispersed RPI, which allows several educational establishments to coexist within the same RPI. This system could be adapted by specializing the establishments: one on scientific subjects, the other on sport, history-geography, manual work, etc. This solution would guarantee each village to keep its school, allow better learning of knowledge, within specialized establishments. Local elected officials are waiting for concrete solutions. The one that the MP has just presented to the Minister has many advantages. It allows specializations and rotations in the different schools concerned, maintains a fundamental public service for the municipalities, while falling within the logic of what the RPI allows, which would thus be improved. She asks her if this is something she is considering to keep the school in a rural area.
