Question 5077 — teaching

Summary

Mr. Alexandre Vincendet draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the situation of German teaching in France. On January 22, 2023, we celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of the Elysée Treaty, signed on January 22, 1963 by Charles De Gaulle and Konrad Adenauer, a treaty of reconciliation and cooperation between France and Germany which also had the objective of reconciliation between peoples, which included reciprocal learning of each other's languages. German is the leading language in Europe in terms of number of speakers and the language of our largest economic partner. The situation of German teaching in France has never been so dramatic. The number of students learning it continues to decrease (currently around 15% of students choose German in LV2 compared to more than 75% for Spanish), the The number of candidates for teaching competitions is also decreasing, German being the discipline in which the proportion of unfilled positions at CAPES is the highest. This year, 72% of positions were not filled, or 155 positions. In higher education, the number of students in the German LLCE sector is also falling drastically, even in border towns. A number of departments have closed in the universities over the past decade. From middle school to university, learning German and all Germanic studies in France are today more threatened than ever. Faced with this situation, the MP asks the Minister the means that the Ministry of National Education intends to deploy to strengthen the learning of German in France and thanks him.
