PISA fell once more the note of the French educational system. The increase in the number of pupils has confirmed its ineffectiveness. Despite a budget per pupil among the highest in Europe, the National Education is not able to take advantage of quality teachers who feel abandoned or meet the expectations of families. Behind the stack of inconsistent technical reforms over the governments of both right and left, the French school no longer works. Only a small elite, coached by informed parents, manages to get its head above water.
To stop this betrayal of future generations, let us leave the technical-reforms agreed most often with no overall vision: they regularly destabilize all teachers and students. The Liberal Democratic Party proposes a structural change in two stages: full autonomy granted to each school and the introduction of education check.
We want the school to be finally serving children, not vice versa. It will be unthinkable as the National Education will administer this huge bureaucracy of a centralized its 1.2 million civil servants (the first jurisdiction in the world after the Chinese Red Army). The failure of this model planist now undeniable, should force a radical change of approach on the part of our parliamentarians and ministers (who place their quasi-systematic own children to private school). We recommend that each school principal to be autonomous in the creation, management and individualized compensation of its teaching staff.
In parallel, the introduction of "education check" will equally fund the education of each child: the state budget, "says one parent, who can spend in the school of their choice. The Montaigne Institute showed that there are now large disparities in public school on the budget allocated per student, sometimes up 30% between institutions (the disadvantage of difficult areas). Our mechanically reform would end this unfairness. We would also end the scandalous current quota of seats authorized for private schools under contract, while the demand is huge. The creation of new institutions would be released. The competition between the institutions we seem necessary in the interest of students, to encourage low-performing schools to really calling into question.
In New Zealand, education check introduced in 1985 a healthy competition between schools public and private. The share of public institutions fell initially, pushing these institutions to reform themselves independently (administrative costs represented 70% of school budgets, now only one third). The share of these institutions has increased, then re: proof that you can do much better education for our children.
