2. Stage (2015): The Reform of the French “Collège“ under the Minister for Education Vallaud-Belkacem (2015)

The French Minister for Education's plans for reform under attack.

The reform of the lower secondary education (the so-called "collège") is the second step of the educational reform called "Refondons l`école" (Let`s re-establish school) of the government under François Hollande in France. In march 2015, the minister for education Najat Vallaud-Belkacem presented the planned reform of the collège. More interdisciplinarity during the classes, a greater autonomy for the collèges in structuring their schedules, beginning earlier with the second foreign language - the reform proposes a multitude of changes. Yet, there is one change that even launched an transnational debate between France and Germany: the intended changes to the German language classes in France.

We provide you with an overview of the debate in the French, German and English media, as well as with links to the official documents concerning the reform and some organisations protesting against the reform:
