Question 7233 — secondary education

Summary

Ms. Liliana Tanguy draws the attention of the Minister of National Education to the place of the teaching of economic and social sciences within the Baccalaureate reform project. This reform, presented on February 14, 2018, provides for a new organization of teaching with the end of the series in the general route and the introduction of a general route in the first and final years. Furthermore, the reform project recommends the implementation place of a “common culture base”, currently providing for the teaching of seven subjects, and “specialty disciplines”, including economic and social sciences. The teaching of this discipline was introduced into the French educational system, in its current configuration, more than 50 years ago, allowing, alongside the humanities and sciences, to enrich intellectual and student citizenship. Since then, the ES series, of which economic and social sciences are the pivotal discipline, has undeniably participated in the democratization of high school by welcoming, in 2017, more than a third of general baccalaureate holders. This series presents varied social recruitment, benefits from diversified opportunities as well as good success rates in higher education. This discipline being absent from college and teaching compulsory in first and final year, the MP considers that it would be beneficial to grant economic and social sciences a full place in second year class. It is, in fact, essential that tomorrow's students have effective analytical tools in order to be able to understand contemporary societal issues. She suggests that the baccalaureate reform offers the teaching of economic and social sciences in each high school and integrates this discipline into the common core of the general and technological second year class, for a schedule of 3 hours per week.
