Question 17670 — secondary education

Summary

Mr. Jean-Claude Leclabart draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the closure of certain classes in the Somme department for the future 2019-2020 school year. The Somme department was the subject of a “dead college” day on March 4, 2019 in response to announcements of a reduction in hourly allocations planned in its establishments. The elimination of these teaching hours is not without consequences since it leads to the closure of sections and an imperceptible increase in numbers per class. Before incomprehension gives way to anger, he wanted to draw attention to the motivations which lead the representatives of parents and teachers to act. The main demand is that simple statistics do not come to condition the future of their children. The shortcut that wants the solution to fewer resources involves greater overcrowding of classes, which currently remains inaudible in rural areas. The elements of answer are lacking since in terms of success in the baccalaureate, the former Picardy has been lagging at the back of the pack for years. This is a warning sign that cannot be ignored. A signal which makes Mr. MP say that not all departments can be treated separately. the same, and therefore that greater efforts must be made where the need arises. The emergence of cases of DYS (dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysorthography) and the reduction of teaching resources are contradictory. Taking these situations into account requires that teaching conditions remain “bearable” and that “differentiated” teaching can be provided. Otherwise, the risk of “dropping out” » of these struggling students will become even bigger. The dynamics of new constructions reinforce this feeling of incomprehension. While municipalities and communities of municipalities are trying to organize themselves to welcome new populations, class closures are prescribed, presenting a real obstacle to the arrival of these citizens. The figures provided by the rectorate in October 2018 speak in favor of a maintaining teaching resources at a minimum for the start of the 2019 school year. They report a slight increase in enrollment over the 2016-2020 period. Logic would dictate that with an almost constant workforce, teaching positions and corresponding hourly allocations should be maintained at a minimum. The deputy expresses through these few observations the general feeling of parents and teachers of the rurality which characterizes the 4th district of the Sum. Studying on a case-by-case basis only reinforces this feeling of profound injustice. The situation is such that a college classified as REP is in fear of being downgraded, that another establishment sees its teaching hours limited on the grounds that it is an example of success and that it has a so-called “privileged” situation. He calls for his intervention. A careful look must be taken at the situation of colleges in department of the Somme. He knows the efforts already made by the National Assembly in favor of children's education. However, he intends that we now go beyond the commitments already made. It is imperative that the overall hourly allocations of colleges be maintained at appropriate levels as long as their situation justifies it. He asks her to please clarify her intentions in this matter.
