When talking about the main sector, the socialite Stéphane Troussel often says that in Seine-Saint-Denis “everything changed, except school”. The smallest and poorest region in France may have significant changes, but it remains characterized by strong social and educational isolation. “Seine-Saint-Denis is undergoing rapid and profound change on a social, urban and economic level., list Stéphane Troussel, President of the department board since 2012. It is at a tipping point and it is impossible for the school to stand aside. »
One of the answers can be summed up in one word: diversity. And it is to promote it that the department and rectorate of Créteil, on which Seine-Saint-Denis depends, announced, on September 2, the launch of a joint program to promote the attractiveness of public universities in “93”, including the inauguration, Friday 27 September, of a “Evaluation of school diversity and attractiveness”.
Eleven colleges are targeted from the beginning of the academic year 2024, 14 more at the beginning of the academic year 2025, then another 15 more in 2026, making a total of forty establishments, around a third of those in the department . They will benefit from a specific funding from the rectorate to increase “training provision” of “Interesting parts”such as classes with schedules organized to improve school and art, international sections, or even sports sections. The program called “8 am to 6 pm” will also be implemented there, intended to give students, during this time, sports activities, workshops and academic support, especially in conjunction with community groups.
“false image”
For its part, the department promised – without specifying the amount of the financial envelope – that the colleges in the plan will be. “important” in terms of investment in machinery or project money, while specifying that this is not called into question “overall sector-wide priority”.
“The origin of this plan comes back a little more than a year and it comes from the widespread awareness of the incredible avoidance of public high schools which hinders social and educational diversity”explained the rector of the country’s second house of study, Julie Beneti.
In some establishments of Seine-Saint-Denis, the avoidance rate, or the percentage of the number of students enrolled in public primary schools who do not join the high school in their sector, reaches 35%. One group gets into public college through exemptions; others bypass the school card by enrolling in a private establishment that has more benefits under contract. In the universities of Seine-Saint-Denis, the index of social status (IPS), this tool used by the Ministry of National Education to determine the social profile of students and establishments, is much less than the national average (87.9 against 100) , and significantly lower than the IPS average of private colleges in the sector, itself within the national average for this sector (118 against 117).
