Question 39663 — secondary education

Summary

Mr. Grégory Labille alerts the Minister of National Education, Youth and Sports to the growing disparity, despite government announcements, in the allocation of overall hours between country high schools and those in the cities. Singularly, the Lamarck high school in Albert, a town of 10,000 inhabitants, has experienced a loss of more than a hundred hours of overall allocation since January 2019. The Lamarck high school has more than 1,000 students. The year 2021, despite the covid-19 crisis, is no exception and the Amiens rectorate announced in January 2021 the additional reduction of 30 hours in overall allocation for the Lamarck high school. Not only is it in contradiction with the recommendations of the report “Les invisibles de la République” by Salomé Berlioux, this continued reduction condemns high schools like that of Lamarck to optimize hours available and to self-censor on support programs for students in difficulty, on the establishment of language centers or on support for students wishing to integrate preparatory classes. At the same time, students from Amiens or larger towns benefit from a greater choice of specialties as well as better support resources. The reduction, or even sometimes the elimination of these ancillary programs, contributes to reinforcing, despite the announcements in Breteuil-sur-Iton on January 18, 2021, the city-country divide of the territories. These educational disparities, already significant and present before the covid-19 crisis, will only be reinforced if, in addition to the reduction in these hours, the worsening difficulties for students who drop out following the closure of schools are added. Thus, aware of the commitment and mobilization of the Minister on this subject, he asks him how he wishes to give these peripheral high schools more resources and hours to help reduce urban-rural educational inequalities.
