Question 6274 — secondary education

Summary

Mr. Léo Walter draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the teaching of technology in 6th grade. He alerts him to what his ministry calls the “reconfiguration” of the four-hour block, which brings together in sixth form the teaching of physics-chemistry, life and earth sciences and technology. This formulation actually masks the pure and simple suppression of the teaching of technology in sixth grade in order to establish a weekly hour of support in French or mathematics. The MP declared to the Minister that this arbitrary decision deprives students of the possibility of consolidating, upon entering secondary school, numerous concepts contributing to a better understanding of the world around them. This teaching, initiated in nursery school and continued in primary school under the name of “ Science and technology” provides, on the one hand, knowledge in the fields of technical objects, materials, energy and transport by developing know-how and interpersonal skills linked to experimental and project approaches; and, on the other hand, skills in mastering IT and digital tools. This teaching is essential and its questioning raises questions. It has its place among the disciplines essential to the common general culture that every student must acquire. This deletion is inconsistent, incomprehensible and harmful given that technology is one of the college disciplines that promotes the collective initiatives of students. It gives them the opportunity, particularly those who are in difficulty, to highlight qualities that are often little exploited in other subjects, while offering them basic foundations useful for the major technological challenges of tomorrow. He asks the minister to abandon the planned measures and initiate actions to consolidate the teaching of technology in the education of students.
