The state of education in France today, in an international context

Session moderated by François Héran.
Each 30' presentation will be followed by a 10' discussion.

Abstract

First, I'll present an overview of the key indicators of success, well-being and equity in the French education system, through the prism of international comparisons. I will then discuss the levers available to improve the situation of schools in France - budgetary trade-offs, the role of headteachers, the attractiveness of the teaching profession, pedagogical practices, care for student well-being and school climate. To do this, I'll be drawing on readings from OECD surveys - PISA, TALIS, and the socio-emotional skills survey - as well as OECD reports.
