Question 32918 — secondary education

Summary

Ms. Bénédicte Taurine alerts the Minister of National Education, Youth and Sports to the alarming deterioration in the teaching of Occitan in secondary schools following the high school reform. Since the implementation of the baccalaureate and general and technological high school reform, the Toulouse academy and the Public Office for the Occitan Language have observed a 20% drop in the number of Occitan classes. These Reductions can be explained by the devaluation of the status of regional languages. However, it is important to recall the recognized educational interest of teaching Occitan and the need to respect article L. 312-10 of the education code, which provides that “regional languages ​​and cultures belonging to the heritage of France, their teaching is favored as a priority in the regions where they are in use (article 75-1 of the Constitution)”. Currently, Occitan educational professionals are seeing a deterioration in their teaching. In fact, high school students who have chosen Occitan can no longer benefit from a second option, unlike Latinists and Hellenists. In addition, with the new baccalaureate, a regional language taken as an optional option has a coefficient three times lower than that of ancient languages, which represents 1%. approximately of the final grade. Furthermore, only three high schools in the Toulouse academy have opened an Occitan class. In short, teachers of regional languages ​​are calling for the restoration of the alignment of the status of regional languages ​​with that of the languages ​​and cultures of Antiquity, both in terms of coefficient and bonus, as well as an autonomous status for specialty teaching.
