The college teachers deem unfeasible programs – BBC

Called to decide on the draft of the Higher Council, the teachers are very critical.

After Reviews intellectuals and historians, here are the teachers reserves. On Thursday, the Ministry of Education published the summary of the consultation of teachers on the proposed new curricula, planned for 2016.

Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem speaks of “a favorable response teaching teams, “while conceding” the need to improve the readability of the current project “developed by the Board of programs (CSP). A well-optimistic interpretation of the report of 242 pages, the reading reveals a more radical position of teachers.



“How to master a language in 2.5 hours a week?”

Illegible and unfeasible in the state. Thus they consider the new programs of compulsory education. And it is on the college that critics concentrated. Thus, the cycle 4 (from 5th to 3rd), nearly 80% of teachers believe that the project deserves to be “readable”.

” Too ambitious “,” vague “,” not detailed enough “… These are the terms that recur in most teachers’ answers to open questions. “40,000 responses were validated. About 600,000 teachers, it is little … “observes Valerie Sipahimalani for his part, Deputy Secretary General of the SNES, saying that” consultation has met with the reform of college, which many colleagues are opposed. ” It also regretted “the lack of questions on the merits of the programs.”

Thus, teachers have been asked about the history curriculum, which gave rise, however, a great debate quasi public. Nevertheless, in the new copy the CSP will submit September 3 to the minister, he was invited in this discipline, to ensure that “the program is considered essential begs no question” … There is therefore likely Enlightenment will make their comeback among the themes imposed …
