Indicator history

From September 2010, the Ministry of education applies the special pilot program Clair (Collèges et Lycées pour l’Ambition, l’Innovation et la Réussite) in 105 secondary schools facing the  most difficult issues of school climate and violence. The program aims at improving the school climate and facilitate academic success; reinforcing the stability of teaching staff, and to favour equal opportunities. It contains several new measures regarding educational methods, school life management (including workshops for parents and the creation of a “Commission of school life” in charge of finding educative solutions for pupils not respecting the common rules), and human resources (with, among other measures, a special remuneration for teachers working in these schools).  

On 5 July 2011, a convention of partnership was signed between the Ministry of Education and the International League Against Racism and Antisemitism (LICRA)  to improve the fight against racism and discrimination in schools. In addition to the renewal of previous partnership provisions (2007), the agreement provides that LICRA can intervene at the request of education officers, education authority inspectors or heads of schools and colleges faced with problems of racism, antisemitism and discrimination. LICRA may also participate in 'cultural or educational training solidarity activities' outside school hours. It will undertake to create a risk-prevention module associated with the internet and unwanted contact with sites inciting racial hatred.
