Question 9596 — nursery and primary education

Summary

Mr. Vincent Trébuchet draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of National Education, Higher Education and Research, to the decision to close classes in rural schools. Despite the presidential promise made in 2019 not to close any school without the mayor's agreement, many local elected officials still note that class closures are decided unilaterally by principals. academic standards of the national education services (DASEN), without real consultation with the municipalities concerned. However, the closure of a class often constitutes the first step towards the gradual disappearance of the entire school, leading to a vicious circle of loss of attractiveness for the area and students dropping out of school. Furthermore, the criteria currently used for the priority education map almost exclusively favor urban establishments, without sufficiently taking into account the difficulties specific to rural schools, in particular their geographical isolation and the effects of this on academic success and equality of opportunity. This unequal treatment contributes to increasing the feeling of abandonment of village residents. He also asks what measures the Government intends to take, on the one hand, to legally strengthen the place of local elected officials in decisions to close classes and put an end to the arbitrariness observed on the ground and, on the other hand, to revise the criteria for allocating priority education resources by fully integrating the specificities and needs of rural areas.
