More bad news for children and parents who expected more academic support this year

The provision of aid for children in difficulty School training with the support of teachers, planned for this year, will not be possible as it stands.

So that children do not drop out at a later age. school and for each student to finish their school year with the necessary learning outcomes, more monitoring must be put in place. This diagnosis is shared à both by teachers, teaching professionals and by the Ministry of National Education.

Unfortunately for the children and for the parents, we have to make up our minds. What had been announced in recent months will not be able to happen as hoped.

There are obviously differences depending on the establishment, but the average rate of pact signed is is 23%.

The disappointment will be great. "This will put heads of establishments in difficulty. because announcements made to the general public which are based on the pact, such as short-term replacements or even homework done, will not be able to be made correctly if there is no volunteers,” Bruno Bobkiewicz lucidly analyzed. Furthermore, the survey reveals that in 58% of middle and high schools in France, at least one teacher was missing. back to school.
