Without any consultation, a simple circular published in the Official Bulletin (06/29/2010), Minister Education decides the opening of a new type of institutions that should emerge during the year 2010-2011. These establishments known as "school reintegration" (or ERS is their official name) are actually based on principles that have nothing to do with school or education. This
receive through a boarding student described as "particularly disturbing" but it is clear that they are not "an investment in the criminal". However, if they are not criminals, they are treated as such, as shown in particular how to apply that go to dispossess the parents of their most basic educational rights: although the agreement of the family is requested, it is no longer mandatory, in case of refusal, "a prosecutor's referral may be initiated by the inspector of schools (...), so that might be considered whether to impose a distribution. "An investment which is also stated that he" will last as long as necessary ".
other words, it is therefore not being enrolled in an educational institution of confinement, but deprivation of liberty, a simple administrative decision, for pupils aged 13 to 16 who are not offenders. An arbitrary strictly astounding that does not even take the trouble to follow the rules law.
Supervision should be provided by teachers "on a voluntary basis, which will in fact receive no special training but also with" local partners ", including ... the Ministry of Defence, which we wonder what can be educational skills.
The schedule includes activities purely on the school one morning, the rest being spent on various occupations, classified as 'citizens' workshops, conducted in collaboration with selected partners including the Ministries of Justice, Defense and Interior. With what the Director General of School Education, author of the circular, without laughing calls "an innovative organization of time, we do not see how students already in trouble could go to school worthy of the name and return to the course normal school. It is also not the goal: it is clear that the DNB (national certificate) or ASSR (school road safety certificate), payable by every schoolboy, will not be here certification that "whenever possible". So many up- The final difference is that, as a prelude to an "orientation" expeditiously to the world of work: if the school status is considered to comply with the forms, it is clear that older workers will have little choice that 'between the vocational school and learning.
With this circular, we are facing something that does not respect the traditional rules in force in education: students, often very young (13 years ...), who have committed no crime, are well enclosed authority for an indefinite time, in some something that looks more like a prison or in the barracks at school. Not entirely new initiative, which gives the taste of the sinister prison camps - Mettray Aniane, Belle-Ile en Mer - of the late 19th century, where generations of poor kids from disadvantaged backgrounds, spent their youth before being placed in the hands of employers, subject to the whims of a brutal and incompetent management.
The opening of these facilities is to be compared to the educational policy implemented by the government: increased enrollment, closure of small, removal of specialist teachers, questioned the priority education, loss of teacher training, budget savings target of any kind on educational movements, school psychologists, school health. In other words, a policy that affects the most disadvantaged students and promotes academic failure, as they claim to fight back by brutal measures ineffectual.
Twenty of these institutions, each comprising 15 to 30 students would be expected: for example, because they will shut up about 3 to 400 students, it will be all over the Students who disrupt alone the proper functioning of the education system. The initiative was announced without any consultation, developed in secret by the Cabinet spokesman Minister of Government and secondarily of Education, is of course highly political. It is the result of the whim of a president and a part of the political class who tenaciously for years, consider the academic difficulties as a sign of delinquency. The creation of these schools, prisons should be viewed in a context that made education a hostage, the toy of purely electioneering and the need to take votes on the far right: for two more years, the school should expect to see more initiatives of this ilk, who always alienate more of the obligations and principles of public education service.
