The so-called “groupsof needs“, in French and mathematics, will be implemented at the start of the September school year in middle schools, confirmed the Minister of Education, Nicole Belloubet, on franceinfo on Tuesday July 9.”In each establishment, in each college, in sixth and fifth grade, in French and in maths, we have set up needs groups“, explained the minister, responding to questions from students and their parents before the start of the school year in September, after the dissolution of the National Assembly and the wait for a new government.
The minister assures that this measure was taken in order to “to help students in the areas where they are having the most difficulty“. “These groups are being set up and we are following this very closely.” assured the minister.
An establishment from the start of the school year, whatever the future government, affirmed the minister, while the left denounces a “social sorting“and intends to eliminate the need groups.”I believe that no government, whatever it may be, can go against different ways of helping students.“, replied the minister.
The establishments implement these groups of needs for the start of the school year for the sixth and fifth grade classes. It is a question of groups “formed according to the needs of the students, identified by the teachers“, according to official texts published in mid-March. Unlike the so-called “of levels“, dear to Gabriel Attal, these groups will have to be re-examined throughout the year and will not be compulsory for all hours of mathematics and French.
