DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS:

Remediation policy, put forward today, wants to fight the dualization of the education which the market of school coaching represents.

But what school remediation is really made of? Does it really help to fight the educational inequality? It is to this double question that the authors of the study sought to answer.

In the first part, they try to update what remediation says about the School and its disorders.

In the second part, to go beyond the level of findings, they suggest ways to act in classroom and on the system:
• Developing a "true polyvalent common core"
• Accompanying school entry
• Accompanying the entry in knowledge
• Rethinking the work of teachers of first degree
• Separating the first degree from secondary schools

From their point of view, the answer is within the school, who must find a way to better make learn.

COMMENTS ON THIS PUBLICATION:

This study follows the program of meetings and consultation on remediation practices, realized in 2011, on initiative of the FRB (King Baudouin Foundation), with the collaboration of 48 secondary schools of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.
(See WP3.B : training initiative)

The CGé had actively participated in this process. It wanted to go beyond the inventory prepared by the FRB and answer the question: “does the remediation allow success and emancipation for everyone? And under what conditions?”

The authors used the material of the FRB program: they have carried out an important work of analysis of applications from schools and exchange experiences.
They completed their analysis by new meetings of individual nature with a series of teachers providing remediation.
