The balance sheet time has rang, less than two months of the first round of the presidential election. Wednesday, February 23, it is the Senate who reports the copy of Jean-Michel Blanquer and makes the inventory of the measures taken during the five-year. The three senators authors of the report, Annick Billon (Vendée, Centrist Union), Marie-Pierre Monier (Drôme, Socialist Group, Ecologist and Republican) and Max Brisson (Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Republicans), address a “can do better” Minister of National Education. “The implementation of the reforms gives the impression of a public policy carried out in the precipitation, to the poorly accompanied implementation. Many objectives have not been achieved, leading to a feeling of” navigating sight “, “Generations of guidelines” or [de] disappointment for teaching staff, “they write by focusing on the flagship measurements of the last five years. “It is not a question of taking stock of the person but educational policies”, please specify the President of the Senate Commission of Culture, Education and Communication, Laurent Lafon.

But they note “the absence of a proactive social policy in the Ministry of National Education” and the “need to strengthen the ongoing training of teachers”, while the new reform of initial training has “trouble Achieving its goals “.

The first results are “mixed with the important means consecrated”: “The substantial budget did not allow a frank inversion of the academic difficulties encountered by the students of Rep and REP +.” They did the calculation: the duplication and the Cap to twenty-four students per class require 19,300 jobs, but only 7,000 were created during the five-year.
