Question 17105 — secondary education

Summary

Ms. Mathilde Feld questions the Minister of National Education about the application of the emotional, relational and sexuality education program (EVAR-S). At the end of this first year of compulsory EVAR-S education, the MP went to several schools in her constituency in order to take stock of the actual teaching of EVARS. She was able to observe numerous obstacles to good progress of these sessions and in particular the total absence of training for teachers on these specific issues. Beyond this necessity, the MP believes that external speakers are needed to provide this teaching which is sometimes very poorly received by families. Not only are teachers too physically exposed, but this hostility tarnishes all the learning provided outside of EVAR-S. She also noted that no time slot was dedicated to it in the program. This gap between legal obligations and the reality on the ground raises questions about the Government's real ambition to deploy the EVAR-S program. Thus, the MP notes that the application of the program is based on the voluntary work of certain aware teachers who try to bring these subjects to life as best they can. He As a result, these notions are only briefly addressed in a transversal manner within the framework of their courses and the school program, for example, during SVT sessions on reproduction. If these initiatives are laudable and are a sign of the unfailing involvement of the teaching staff, it is essential to provide real resources to educational establishments. As a reminder, the CIIVISE revealed to us that each year 160,000 children are victims of repeated sexual violence, most often incestuous. Since 2020, a 56% increase in people accused of rape or sexual assault of a minor has been recorded. Homophobic and transphobic crimes and offenses tripled between 2016 and 2024. Faced with these very worrying figures, there is therefore a real urgency to provide tools of understanding and defense to potential victims who are our children. The EVAR-S program is very well designed to meet this requirement. It must now be provided correctly in all educational establishments and an appropriate budget allocated to it. The effectiveness of teaching and the application of public policy cannot rely on the goodwill and involvement of teachers. In order to truly protect children, she insists on the absolute necessity to establish agreements with specialized associations responsible for intervening in schools, colleges and high schools. She therefore questions him about the measures he will actually put in place to ensure the successful completion of these 3 sessions of 2 hours per level and asks him to publish an annual report on the teaching of EVAR-S in order to be able to evaluate the effects and adjust them.
