Question 5297 — secondary education

Summary

When they enter 6th grade, a third of students have not mastered the fundamental skills to succeed in middle school. International assessments also note that in French and mathematics, the number of high-performing students continues to decline. Thus, at the next school year, to raise the general level, better support vulnerable students and allow everyone to cultivate their excellence, all 6th grade students will benefit from a weekly hour of support or improvement in French or mathematics. To organize this weekly hour of support or in-depth study without extending the 26 weekly hours of class for students, the teaching of science and technology in 6th grade is reduced to three hours per week by reducing one hour of technology within the teaching program. This measure will make it possible to concentrate this technology teaching in 5th, 4th and 3rd grade classes and to consolidate its place in college because it is essential to the training of students. The Higher Program Council will very soon be asked to design a renewed technology program for 5th, 4th and 3rd grade classes, so that at the start of the 2024 school year, technology teaching carries a new ambition for digital technology. Regarding the teachers of technology, particular attention is paid to their situation. They will also be able to benefit from training during the year 2023-2024 in order to prepare for the new program. This transformation of the 6th grade class aims to strengthen students' skills in French and mathematics to enable them to be better equipped to face the challenges of the 21st century, notably through the teaching of technology.
