What are the long-term effects of the health crisis on the level of students? The question is in all the heads, parents as teachers, since the triggering of the pandemic, more than eighteen months ago. The national evaluations carried out during September entry in CP, CE1 and in 6 e bring responses rather reassuring. If, in 2020, after several months of “school at home”, the results were rather down in CP and especially in ce1, it is not in 2021. Students find overall at the beginning of primary school a equal, or slightly higher level, to that of their comrades 2019. “In primary, the negative effect of the confinement on the learning has been gummed”, rejoices Jean-Michel blanquer in the columns of Parisian
At the entrance into 6 e , the results increase slightly between 2020 and 2021, as was the case between 2019 and 2020. “The health crisis has weighed more on the youngest Students, “says Fabienne Rosenwald, at the head of the Statistics Department of the Department of National Education. Since 2018, these national assessments made by 99% of pupils of CP, CE1 and 6 e offer a photograph of the level at the beginning of the school year. More than one in two teachers today says use it to detect the difficulties of its students.
“The health crisis has weighed more on the youngest pupils”
In detail, CP students have found equivalent levels of results or even higher than those of the 2019 return in French as in mathematics. Among the highest increases, 64.1% of students at this level are mastered “recognize letters” in 2021; They were 57.4% in 2020 and 59% in 2019. In mathematics, it is on the item “compare numbers” that the rise is the most sensitive. The notion is acquired by 79.1% of students in 2021, compared with 75.8% in 2020 and 76.6% in 2019.
In CE1, the decline in results had been clearer than for CP students in 2020, but in 2021, students also find a level comparable to that of before the pandemic. The fluency, knowledge of numbers and problem solving are even in progress compared to 2019. Thus, “read aloud a text” is mastered by 73.1% of the students at the beginning of CE1 in 2021, against 66, 6% of students last year and 71.4% of the cohort two years ago.
Another point of satisfaction put forward by the Ministry of National Education: the gaps that had dugged between the students in priority education and the others in 2020 are almost returned to the 2019 level, in CP as in CE1 . “The impact of the closure of schools in 2020 on the level of inequalities was substantially resided in September 2021,” Fabienne Rosenwald.
