His predecessor had made high school and school his priority.
Pap Ndiaye wants him to "attack on college".
The Minister of National Education believes that he is "the sick man of the school system" with a "low" level, especially in mathematics and modern languages, he explained in an interview with Midi Libre published on Saturday .
“We must now attack the college because it is the sick man of the system.
The level at the end of 3e is low, in particular in maths and modern languages”, declared the minister in front of readers of the regional daily.
“We have a problem with languages.
The level in English dropped at the end of 3e.
We are going to get it back on track, ”he promised.
The “first effects” expected by December
The Ministry of National Education provides, even before entering college, an hour and a half of weekly learning from CP, and even awareness of languages from kindergarten.
Another measure, it is planned to encourage the creation of bilingual schools, these establishments where the pupils make four times more English than the others.
On math, "it's not a question of course hours, which are already substantial from CP to Terminale, but rather of teaching method", estimated the minister.
In December, the National Education will already be able to measure according to him "the first effects" of the math plan launched in primary after the evaluation of the sixth.
