2022
March Update :
24/02/2022 The Government definitively approved, in 3rd reading, the draft decree on the adaptation of annual school rhythms, from the start of the 2022-2023 school year, also in Social Advancement Education. This text sets out the various provisions necessary to ensure the practical implementation of the reform of annual school rhythms and establishes the principles that will govern the organisation of the school year and school holidays in the future. It also establishes the calendars for the next two school years. The draft decree also includes a series of adjustment measures for out-of-school care and will be accompanied by additional measures for the youth sector to ensure a harmonious and coherent application of the reform. The text also presents transitional mechanisms allowing to favour as much as possible the convergences between the school calendar of the French Community and those of the other Communities, without however derogating from the essential principles of the reform. The philosophy of the reform, designed to better respond to the well-being of the learners, is to follow the "7+2" model, alternating 7 weeks of classes followed by 2 weeks of holidays.

In total, more than 3,500 computers were distributed and made available to pupils to combat the digital divide.
This action was set up by the French Community to help pupils from the 3rd year of secondary education onwards and students in social advancement education to follow courses online. In total, almost 3,500 computers were distributed by the French Community since the beginning of the health crisis thanks to the excellent collaboration between the teams.
