After several postponements due to the health crisis, the train of reforms of the pact for teaching excellence has resumed at full speed. Too quickly for many school principals who have expressed their difficulties to the Minister of Education Caroline Désir. Following pressing requests from the management, the government of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation has agreed to review the timetable for reforms, but for the MR, the new agenda of the pact risks harming the fight once morest school dropout.
“School dropouts are a real scourge that should have been dealt with as quickly as possible, already in 2023. This modification of the roadmap might have enabled progress to be made on this point. The Pact provides for a 50% reduction in the school dropout rate by 2030. However, since the health crisis, this phenomenon has increased exponentially. As of December 31, 2022, it affected 23,000 students, which represented an increase of 32% compared to the previous year and 90% compared to 2019″, explains MP Stéphanie Cortisse.
“It seems to me that time is running out on the reform to fight once morest school dropout, since we are losing students over the months and years.”she complains.
Among the objectives of the Pact for teaching excellence is indeed the reduction of early school leaving by 50% by 2030. To achieve this result, an action plan has been set up, including among other things a new system collection of data and effective information gathering, a redefinition of the roles and missions of stakeholders around the prevention and fight once morest dropping out and the revision of certain procedures, including exclusions.
