Publication de la DEPP / Education in Europe key figures
Edité par Ministère de l'éducation nationale. Paris ; Ministère de l'enseignement supérieur, de la recherche et de l'innovation - 2019
To be effectively carried out, a public education policy needs benchmarks. Scientific findings, experiments and international
comparisons are some of the elements that enlighten us.
DEPP’s Education in Europe: Key figures thus casts a light on our schools in the context of European school systems.
The collected statistics therefore make it possible to get a clearer idea of where we stand and show where there is room for progress.
The findings of the PISA and TIMSS surveys highlight the importance of investing heavily in the early years of learning, especially for the most exposed students. This is the reason behind splitting classes during the first two years of primary education, which will help 340,000 students better grasp the fundamentals of reading, writing, counting and
respecting others.
The highly contrasting situations of the labor market in European countries cruelly highlight the overly high rate of unemployment among the young in our country, which is why we are transforming our general, technological and vocational high schools so as to better support and thus better train the young generations.
New indicators in this second edition stress the preventive role that schools must play in fighting the risks to health (linked to obesity, for example) and dangerous practices (such as smoking). The health plan for the 0 to 6 year-olds that we have launched this year is one element in this approach.
Sharing good practices and healthy emulation between European school systems are ways of making collective progress
which will enable Europe to become a continent of prosperity and social progress.
