Question 7205 — foreigners

Summary

Mr. Christian Girard draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of National Education, Higher Education and Research to the relevance and cost of the program for teaching languages ​​and cultures of origin (EILE), established in 1977 following a European directive relating to the children of migrant workers. Initially designed to promote the linguistic and cultural continuity of children from families migrants, this program is now aimed at students born in France or who have acquired French nationality. It offers optional courses in Arabic, Portuguese, Italian or Turkish, organized in partnership with the States of origin within the framework of bilateral agreements. If the initial intention was to facilitate the academic and social integration of these students, the current reality of the education system requires a reassessment of its priorities. In a context of worrying collapse in the level of French, reading, spelling and more generally in the overall level of instruction in schools, the maintenance of such a system, without rigorous evaluation of its educational, social and linguistic effects, raises questions. Also, he asks for the communication of the budgets devoted, directly or indirectly, to the EILE program over the five recent years. He also asks whether the Government intends to undertake a national evaluation of the EILE program as to its real effects on the academic success and republican integration of the students concerned, and whether it plans to reorient all or part of this system in favor of reinforced French modules, particularly in REP and REP+ establishments, in order to refocus efforts on mastering the French language, fundamental pillar of academic success and national cohesion.
