Abstract

En finir avec l'échec scolaire remet en cause l’idée qu’il y aura toujours des ratés et des marginaux, ceux qui ne peuvent ni ne veulent réussir à l’école. En réalité, des initiatives prises dans de nombreux pays démontrent qu’il est possible d’abaisser le taux d’échec et de décrochage scolaire – et de réduire l’énorme coût social des adultes qui n’ont pas acquis les qualifications de base indispensables pour trouver leur place dans la société. Cet ouvrage propose une précieuse analyse comparative des démarches nationales en matière d’équité en éducation et examine, notamment, les aspects suivants ; la filiarisation, les classes de niveau et la sélection par les résultats ; le choix de l’école ; les structures de l’enseignement secondaire et les programmes de la deuxième chance ; le redoublement ; les liens école-famille ;  l’éducation des jeunes enfants ; l’affectation des ressources ; les objectifs chiffrés d’équité ; les besoins spéciaux des migrants et des minorités.  L’analyse conclut que trois facteurs jouent un rôle déterminant pour l’équité dans l’éducation (la conception des systèmes éducatifs, les pratiques de classe et la dotation en ressources), et propose aux pouvoirs publics, dix mesures appuyées par des données, pour réduire le taux d’échec et d’abandon scolaire.

Abstract

No More Failures challenges the assumption that there will always be failures and dropouts, those who can’t or won’t make it in school. In fact, initiatives in many countries demonstrate that it is possible to successfully tackle school failure and dropout rates – and to reduce the huge social cost of adults without basic skills. This book offers a valuable comparative perspective on how different countries have handled equity in education. Among the issues it explores are tracking, streaming and academic selection;  school choice; secondary education structures and second chance programmes; grade repetition; links between school and home; early childhood education; resource allocation; targets for equity; and the special needs of migrants and minorities. The book identifies three key areas for delivering equity in education (the design of education systems, classroom practices and resourcing) and proposes ten concrete policy measures, backed by evidence, on how to reduce school failure and dropout rates.

Abstract

One of the qualities of this book is the authors’engagement with personal experience. This is part of the contextualising of issues within particular cultural, historical and social contexts. I shall begin the Foreword in the same spirit by recounting an experience that is still a foundation for analysing and developing my own understanding. This h- pened some twenty-five years ago. I was going with Vic Finkelstein, a disabled a- demic and activist, to a seminar, on a hot summer’s day, making our way across the Open University campus in Milton Keynes. The seminar was entitled ‘The Problems of Integration’. Making conversation with Vic I suggested that the seminar sounded int- esting. His response was immediate and direct: no it was not interesting – the problems for disabled people were the problems of segregation, not the problems of integration. As he did often for me, Vic turned understanding on its head and his seemingly simple observation carried ever-increasing ripples of critical questioning. Reading of international developments and of the specifics of education policy, provision and practice across the widely differing circumstances found in different nation states, from the majority as well as the minority world, challenges, deepens and confirms understanding. There are, not surprisingly, considerable diversities and c- monalities, and recurring themes that speak to both – and fire critical questioning. The complexities pretty quickly give food for thought and ring bells of caution. The first for me is the lack of digestion – the impossibility of comprehensive knowledge.
