During the 2010-2011 school year, the King Baudouin Foundation has launched an exchange program within 48 secondary schools of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation to identify practices that make school remediation effective and reduce failure.
The report provides an inventory of the initiatives taken in the field of school remediation. It shows that the remediation proposed by schools includes a mosaic of aids: different approaches and types of support are, most of the time, implemented simultaneously within the same school.
This report also provides a synthesis of reflections on the constitutive elements of an effective remediation, removing the inappropriate practices and drawing attention to the risks inherent in remediation.
This report provides courses of action intended for policy makers, school administrators and teachers to improve the effectiveness and appropriateness of school remediation.

This paper reports on three days of discussions between 48 schools in May 2011.
These days allowed realizing the diversity of existing remediation devices and outlining an analysis.
