"Structural change school" Bruno Julliard proposals

thread Twitter Bruno Julliard, head of the PS, in charge of educational issues, returns this Sunday evening at his speech at the University People's Participatory Theatre du Soleil January 15, 2011 on the theme "What future for education?"


I have transcribed as accurately possible discourse developed in this intervention, first because the sound quality is not very satisfactory, partly to allow a transversal reading and open discussion.


Bruno Julliard

Introducing Bruno Julliard said Pisa and explains the results by the French government policy :

• school segregation is amplified by the relaxation school mapping, while PISA points already in France for this problem
• fewer teachers and resources, eg 15% less investment per pupil in primary school compared to OECD countries
• 4 weeks days at the end of schooling for children two years
• increase the number of students per class

" The right educational inequality has increased, but the difficulties the school system are much deeper than the consequences of current policy, structurally (Applause). According to Pisa, slightly higher investment, we have performed slightly below the average of OECD countries. This is not a question of means and he will not say it enough to reverse all measures taken by the right. "

" We propose an educational project broke . three break points:

• first break point is the profoundly elitist and selective in our system educational (applause). We see our rating system completely archaic primary school, the selection at all levels of our educational system, which is finally organized as to train the elite in the preparatory classes and grandes écoles ( applause). Second problem, no fate is reserved for those who have failed . About the expression of "republican elitism" BJ asks what is the Republican in a system that lets out every year 150,000 young people without educational qualifications. One result, the reproduction of social inequalities (applause). Elista This school and this competition is deeply ingrained in society (he uses the example of the proposal to introduce a Coppé exam at the end of primary school to enter college) and must therefore prepare a cultural change . Another school is possible, but the foundations are to be renovated.
• The fight against failure involves all stakeholders in the education system , not only the school system. Success for all is achievable. With the goal at the end of compulsory education in the common core of knowledge and skills , we reverse the burden of proof, making it to the school itself to adapt to its students access to this base of knowledge and skills (applause). Success should not be as academic, disciplinary and traditional we mean.
• Therefore propose a project that is educational and not just school , addressing public education suffers, the neighborhood associations that are educational work (applause), cultural associations. "

" The problem is that in 2012 we will have to make choices, and that not everything will be possible to budgetary reasons. We must therefore work to prioritize .

• For me the first priority will be compulsory education, putting the packet on the beginning of this school , which includes kindergarten , with even a right for children two years with a gateway to public service Early worthy of the name. must end with the week of 4 days , while popular for some, but that deepens inequalities. Then is the radical transformation of the college, which can not be organized like this little school that sorts and selects students , but must first be a continuation of compulsory education and thus the continuity of primary school. It is in this sense empower teams of teachers colleges (he does not utter the word autonomy).
• Another priority will be restore the initial and continuing vocational training of all professionals educcation , not just teachers. Continuing education must be compulsory to adapt the results of educational research, to adapt to a changing world, but also for the future of these teachers. This training is associated with the mobility of teachers (point to be cleared).
• third priority, the issue of PTA and institutions in big trouble. We need to restore the school map while avoiding ghettoization of certain neighborhoods, and therefore review this instrument sectorization. It should then review the question of resources allocated to schools based on this question of coeducation necessary to the success of the school system (applause) "

In conclusion, Bruno Julliard demolishes the The idea of conservatism teacher who would not want to change things. Many teams of teachers, particularly in innovative schools, waiting for the winds of change. The refusal of some years due primarily to BJ by the decline of social reforms undertaken by the rightist government . BJ is convinced that restoring the contents of academic and social education project, teachers will follow the reforms .

"If we were to summarize the socialist project of 2012 for school, this would be that academic success should not be an exact symmetry of the social and cultural backgrounds of young (applause ). We can no longer be satisfied with improvements at the margin, a few bandages on a system that structurally is not doing well, where we need to mobilize resources, but also to be political commitment of all major political leaders of the Left (applause).
