Question 4010 — people with disabilities

Summary

Mr. Pieyre-Alexandre Anglade draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the support of children with disabilities in French establishments abroad. The application of Law No. 2005-102 of February 11, 2005 for equal rights and opportunities, participation and citizenship of people with disabilities, makes it possible to better integrate children with disabilities into the school system. In France, the provision of support for a student with a disability is possible when an in-depth examination of the student's situation reveals the need, for a specific period, for human assistance or the support of a special education and home care service (SESSAD), with a view to optimizing their autonomy in learning. Outside the borders, there are many children with disabilities or benefiting from projects personalized schooling to be educated in the network of the agency for French education abroad (AEFE). However, only students with disabilities eligible for a traditional school scholarship can claim support from a school assistant (AVS), without whom this schooling is compromised. As a result, many families of disabled children receive no support and must assume only the cost of the AVS. Moreover, in the European Union there are few possibilities for support by the State of residence. This discriminatory situation is incompatible with the philosophy and principles of the 2005 law. French children with disabilities educated abroad must be given the same opportunities for development and integration at school as those educated in France. Therefore, he asks him if he intends to take measures in favor of universal financing of AVS abroad and at least proceed to an evaluation of the number of disabled French children educated in the AEFE network, in order to be able to estimate the cost of taking care of AVS outside our borders.
