Question 8150 — secondary education

Summary

Mr. Philippe Chassaing draws the attention of the Minister of National Education to the teaching of economic and social sciences (SES) and their appearance in the common core in second grade, as part of the high school reform that he is currently leading. The MP reminds him that at the end of the 1960s, the SES were introduced to high school and formed what the teaching staff called a third culture alongside the humanities and sciences by giving birth to a new sector, B or ES. Today, this sector represents a third of general baccalaureate holders, it seems obvious to be interested in this teaching and what it conveys. Several reports have pointed out the lack of knowledge of young French people in sociology and economics. The appearance of SES within the common core is a first step. Indeed, this would raise awareness of mechanisms of society and issues such as growth, employment or inequalities and to familiarize them with the world of business. Furthermore, as this subject has its own stream, it would be welcome if SES were taught in the same way as literature or science in order to provide students with a real common base of knowledge. Based on this idea, he asks him if it would be possible, in his opinion, for the SES to be taught in second grade from 3 hours per week.
