Summary

Mr. Joël Giraud draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the future of the teaching of regional languages ​​in schools, particularly in the context of the baccalaureate and high school reform, which came into force in 2019. Indeed, this reform seems to jeopardize the safeguarding of regional languages ​​in France. First of all, the weight of regional languages ​​in the final grade baccalaureate is generally reduced, since their coefficient has been reduced and their beneficial nature removed. In addition, it is now impossible to take the regional language tests as a free candidate, which de facto excludes a certain number of students. Finally, their competition with other foreign languages ​​and ancient languages, more interesting in terms of coefficient, risks sounding the death knell for languages. regional policies by undermining their attractiveness to students and families. The MP welcomes the latest measures announced by the Minister, which notably make the practice of regional languages ​​possible for all baccalaureate holders and ensures them a place as specialty courses. He is also aware of the repeated commitments of the President of the Republic and the Government in favor of maintaining regional languages ​​in France. However, this may not be enough to preserve an attractive framework for the practice of regional languages, a sine qua none condition for their survival. Deprived of this attractiveness, students' choices will increasingly focus on other foreign or ancient languages, which would automatically lead to a reduction in the number of speakers and, ultimately, to the death of regional languages. This is why he would like to know the measures it intends to take to effectively preserve the attractiveness of regional languages, which make up the richness of the territories and carry within them the history and diversity of the country.
