The Department of Education plays big, Wednesday, December 17. New map of priority education, the allocation of resources reform – that is, the distribution of jobs in the field – and distribution of posts by academy academy, foreshadowing the school year 2015-2016: it is a demonstration, in three stages, the “giving more to those who have less,” thread left an educational policy that must Najat Vallaud-Belkacem. Three ads that test for the one who placed the fight for ‘fairer school “ at the heart of its action, even as the weight of the social determinants of student success has continued to increase (+ 33% in ten years).
The first real date of the Minister with the educational community is in a tense situation. On the ground, the perceived satisfaction there a year with the announcement of the transformation of “PTA” to “REP” – the “priority education networks” – lived. It’s a wait which prevails today, especially since, until the last minute Wednesday, the overall scope of the new networks had yet to be adjusted ( “at the margin” were assured the Ministry Tuesday night) to reach almost 1090 REP, instead of the announced 1082. This is what wanted to believe the teachers’ unions, the FSU, majority, calling for rallies. That wanted to believe, too, schools and colleges mobilized until the last moment of Toulouse in Clichy-la-Garenne via Saint-Denis, hoping to avoid a “Exit PTA”.
Among the 200 colleges and 1,400 schools, ministerial source, are preparing to leave the educational priority – “to give way to as many other” do we repeat, rue de Grenelle, unions have recognized the “tens of networks” where the situation is, if not highly questionable, at least strongly contested. At least 90, according to the SNUipp-FSU, the majority in the first degree, plus, he said, half a thousand schools called “orphan” – beyond the new label because the colleges to which they are attached are considered sufficiently mixed socially, while they themselves are not.
If almost all of these schools are waiting , some see their horizon emerge. This is the case of the four school groups Grésilles district, Dijon, which seemed doomed to be wiped priority education sector because their college, become a ghetto, closed its doors there are eight year old. In a letter that Le Monde was able to consult, dated December 12, the minister wrote that “propose to the Ministerial Technical Committee for Education, December 17, classification ( …) by REP. “
You can search in the table below an institution or a town to see which colleges are concerned.
“finer approach of territorial disparities”
The recipient of the letter is none other than François Rebsamen Minister of Labour … and former mayor of Dijon. “What is possible to Grésilles must be elsewhere for schools with a similar profile,” has reacted the SNUipp-FSU, disseminating the letter. On the ground, the exemption granted to this sensitive area, applauded the Fund, worried “on the form.” Number of teachers and mobilized parents say fear that “politico-logical politicians take over on educational concerns.”
For the minister, the The challenge is: to convince délabellisés institutions they are neither punished nor downgraded. That the binary alternative “to be or not to be REP” is about to be exceeded. In addition to the € 350 million on the table for the consolidation of the PTA, the reform of the allocation of resources, to take effect in September 2015, should enable progressive output priority education without ” threshold effects “ as the ” endowments “ to institutions (in positions in the 1 th degree in hours in the second degree) now take into account, ensures the Minister as many demographics as the economic, social and geographic populations received. Unlike the current system, the “social criteria” would be on the same plane as the criterion “territorial” far dominant.
A maneuver past year DEPP, the statistical office of the ministry, took the town as a reference level to develop a classification into 15 profiles – against 4 above. The objective: to allow “a finer approach of territorial disparities, including within a department or a city,” does one explain the DEPP, recognizing that This is “a model, a guide to the decision, not an achievable goal in year 1 application.”

“Communicating Vessels”
In practice, the preparation of school in 2015 shows that rebalancing are at work: the academy of Lille, whose numbers forecasts are down to the primary, is poised to win a hundred posts under the “social criteria”. Créteil, the number of schoolchildren flies receives 270 posts under demographics, and 178 more by the same “social criteria”. While no academy in 2014, losing only means in the first instance, this will be the case next year seven of them, including Paris and Caen (-29 positions each). “But the teacher-pupil ratio is increasing almost everywhere,” does one shade to the Ministry .
It remains that the scale thirty academies, population pressure, with over 20 000 additional children expected on school benches, continue to absorb almost half the jobs in the first degree (1062 to 2511). In college and high school, where more than 30,000 students are provided the change of course is difficult to discern: the distribution of 2,528 jobs does not distinguish allocations under the demographics of those related to socio-economic context.
The philosophy that this model door is explosive: take into account the social and educational diversity to distribute teaching materials is enact redistribution – a set of “revolving” already summarize some – academies perceived as little (or less) exposed to difficulties – Limoges, Dijon – to those where they are striking, such as Lille and Creteil. Called privileged schools to those that are not. We’ll know in the spring, the announcement of the closing and opening of classes, if the new model, which promotes solidarity territories, be transposed from theory to practice. A deadline looming further complicated qu’auront place at the same time, local elections.
