Question 2656 — teaching

Summary

Ms. Frédérique Dumas draws the attention of the Minister of National Education to the Orchestra at School initiative which allows all students in the same primary or secondary school class to come together around a common project: the creation by a class of an orchestra which will grow, evolve and flourish for three years. Today, more than 1,200 orchestra classes operate throughout the country, involving 32,000 children in 93 departments. This initiative contributes to artistic practice, cultural openness, the social inclusion of young people, the fight against academic failure and the strengthening of territorial cohesion. Indeed, through instrumental practice, children gradually acquire rigor and discipline. The progress they make gives them self-confidence and this has an impact on their academic results. THE orchestra classes penetrate territories victims of the cultural divide. The operation of school orchestras, excluding the purchase of instrumental equipment, is ensured by local authorities. The cost varies depending on the number of children involved, and the number and status of teachers. On average, this is 8,000 euros per year, or a budget of 24,000 euros for three years. In order to develop this initiative, The Orchestra at School association has signed a framework agreement with the Ministry of National Education, the Ministry of Culture, as well as the Ministry of Territorial Cohesion. Although today this initiative is developing thanks to funding from communities and private actors, this association receives almost no state aid. In view of the funding received from other associations which contribute to the development of artistic and cultural education, she asks him if this agreement signed with the three ministries could lead to a sustainable source of funding.
