ATTALI & "BANLIEUE EN PLAN" :
14 02 08 - Xavier Darcos annonce
la création d'un "fonds d'intervention spécifique"
pour les établissements privés acceptant de s'installer en
banlieue, alors que des restrictions budgétaires et des suppressions
de postes touchent l'enseignement public :
"Alors que l'enseignement
privé a fait la preuve de sa capacité à accueillir
des publics très divers, y compris des élèves en difficulté,
et à leur proposer une pédagogie et un encadrement leur permettant
de renouer avec la réussite scolaire, leur savoir-faire reste trop
souvent aux portes de la banlieue parce que nous refusons de leur donner
les moyens permettant de répondre à la demande", a expliqué
le ministre jeudi matin, lors de la présentation du volet Education
du "plan Banlieue". "Je suis le ministre de toutes les formes
d'enseignement, et je veux offrir aux familles la même liberté
de choix que celles dont disposent les familles des centres urbains".

moins de pauvres dans les écoles primaires catholiques Les écoles primaires catholiques d’Angleterre (privées) sont moins enclines que les écoles publiques à admettre en leur sein des enfants issus de milieux défavorisés, selon une étude menée en 2005 par The Institute for Research in Integrated Strategies. L’Institut a recensé le nombre d’élèves ayant
droit aux repas gratuits (indicateur de difficultés sociales) dans
17 319 écoles primaires d’Angleterre.

'Richer pupils' at church schools The report suggest parents shop around for primary schools Church primary schools in England are less likely than local authority schools to admit children from poorer homes, updated research shows. In 2005, the Institute for Research in Integrated Strategies identified a similar phenomenon in a limited study. It has now analysed admissions and eligibility for free school meals in all 17,319 primary schools in England. Schools in the voluntary aided category admitted fewer poorer children than expected from the area's social makeup. Almost 19% of children living in the postcode area of church schools were from families eligible for free meals, but only 14% of the schools' intakes were. Conversely, local authority community schools took a slightly higher proportion of poorer pupils than lived in their local districts. 'Wide' area The institute's report suggests league tables are encouraging parents to "shop around" for primary schools as much as for secondary schools. The author, Chris Waterman, suggests that other factors, such as the costs of school uniform or extra-curricular activities, could be producing a form of social sorting - determining which parents apply to certain schools in the first place. His original study of schools in three areas, published in November, suggested Catholic schools in particular did not reflect their local areas - taking fewer poor children. At the time, the Catholic Education Service said the most likely reason was that its schools served much wider geographical areas than their immediate postcodes. 'No evidence' The Church of England's chief education officer, Canon John Hall, said the figures in the new report were complicated and did not give enough information about the localities and densities of neighbouring schools. "As the author acknowledges it is hard to generalise about primary school admissions - though he seeks to do so," he said. He added: "If there were covert social selection for church schools - of which there is no actual evidence in this report - we would deplore it and seek to root it out. He was in favour of a proposal by the Commons education select committee to strengthen the powers of the local forums which seek to co-ordinate admissions in each area. "We would welcome the monitoring of admissions practice by the local
admissions forum and the strengthening of diocesan powers requiring governing
bodies of voluntary aided schools to follow the advice they have been given,"
he said.
Royaume-Uni : La sélection dans les écoles catholiques Les écoles catholiques britanniques sont fortement soupçonnées de sélectionner leurs élèves d'après la publication d’une enquête menée par la National Foundation for Educational Research auprès des écoles primaires et secondaires d’Angleterre. Selon cette enquête, les écoles catholiques comptent en effet un nombre moins important d’élèves issus de milieux défavorisés-ceux qui ont droit à la gratuité de la cantine- que les autres écoles. Elles inscrivent en revanche un nombre plus important d’élèves
aux dossiers scolaires brillants.
Church schools accused of back-door selection 
By Richard Garner, Education Editor - 18 September 2006Church schools are taking in far fewer pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds than other schools and more than their share of bright pupils, according to the most detailed research published on admissions. The study, which covered all primary and secondary schools in England, revealed that voluntary-aided schools - mainly run by churches - were taking in fewer children entitled to free meals than other schools in their neighbourhoods. In addition, church secondary schools admit a far higher proportion of children who have done well in their 11-year-old national curriculum tests than the percentage in the communities they serve. The research, covering every state school in England and carried out by the widely respected National Foundation for Educational Research, calls for an investigation to determine whether they are "overtly or covertly" selecting their pupils. However, Tony Blair's flagship academies are given a clean bill of health - with researchers saying they are taking in far more than their share of poorer students and those who are struggling to master the three Rs. This finding will give ministers ammunition with which to rebut claims from rebel Labour MPs that they are leading to a two-tier system of education when the Government's controversial school reforms return to the Commons next month. The NFER research mirrors the findings of an earlier report by the education think tank, Iris, which only looked into primary schools - but found that voluntary-aided schools were using "devious" means such as ascertaining parents' affluence to determine admissions. The NFER says there can only be two reasons for its findings: either parents with a religious faith have more intelligent children and are richer than the rest of the community or the voluntary aided schools are indulging in forms of selection. "Even by compensating for the wider geographical area that such schools may serve, it does not explain the reason for the proportions of pupils eligible for free school meals admitted to voluntary-aided schools. Further research could investigate whether there are lower numbers of children with a particular religious affiliation within the group eligible for free school meals or whether some of these schools are overtly or covertly selecting out children with particular background characteristics." The figures showed that - whereas 19 per cent of all pupils living in postcodes served by voluntary aided primary schools were entitled to free school meals - only 14 per cent of their pupils were. The figures were the same for secondary schools. By contrast, in academies - the privately-sponsored independently-run inner city schools being set up by Mr Blair - 40 per cent of pupils were on free school meals compared to 31 per cent in the districts they covered. Tamsin Chamberlain, who conducted the research for the NFER, said: "Further research is needed to provide the reasons for those differences - for example why some community and voluntary-aided schools appear to admit a lower proportion of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds than might be expected."
