Question 7752 — nursery and primary education

Summary

Mr. Frédéric Weber alerts the Minister of State, Minister of National Education, Higher Education and Research, to the conclusions of the report of the Court of Auditors published on May 20, 2025 concerning primary education, which highlights an alarming deterioration in the level of students, particularly in French and mathematics. France ranks last among the 21 countries of the European Union in mathematics and among the last three in reading comprehension for CM1 students. When entering sixth grade, nearly one in three students has difficulty in French and one in four in mathematics. At the national level, this report highlights declining overall performance and persistent territorial inequalities. In Meurthe-et-Moselle, the situation concretely illustrates these observations. According to L'Est Républicain, 31 school teachers resigned in during the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 19 the previous year, which aggravates replacement difficulties, particularly in rural areas. These difficulties are far from being resolved in 2025. The Court also denounces an unsuitable organization of school time, overly centralized governance, ineffective management, insufficient supervision, teacher training to be reviewed and a declining attractiveness of the job. It makes several recommendations relating to clarifying the role of school directors, improving training, better distribution of resources and the need for strengthened territorial management. For all these reasons, he asks him to specify the measures that the Government plans to implement and remedy the serious dysfunctions identified in this report.
