Monday is back to school: 12.5 million students will return to school, college or high school for the coming school year. A year marked by many changes, initiated by the Minister of Education Jean-Michel Blanquer. Review.
Grand upheaval in high school
In high school, everything changes in this fall! No more sections S, ES, L. The first students will have new subjects, and school courses à la carte. All to arrive at the new ferry in 2021, tightened to four written tests and a large oral.
Priority also to the environment. "Eco-delegates" will be elected at the college and high school to ensure the small green gestures of everyday life.
Compulsory school from three years old
In primary school, the reforming policy of Jean-Michel Blanquer also has its effects. Since he said "priority to the first years of life", its flagship measure is the obligation to go to school from three years, against six before. Only 26,000 students escaped.
New instructions in this season, the words of the Marseillaise must be placed on the walls of class, while the French and European flags must float in each room. In theory anyway.
Duplication, already in CP and CE1, is continuing in disadvantaged neighborhoods for large maternal sections. With all these changes, unions threaten to block back to school, with the risk of a strike this week.
