The Nice Academy celebrates this Wednesday, July 12, an increase in annual results. The baccalaureate success rate has increased by +2.3% compared to the previous year. A great victory despite a turbulent year.
The Nice Academy is above the national average, with an 82.1% success rate in the baccalaureate and many high honors. “Very Good”, for example, has increased by +18% compared to 2005, making a total of 582 in the Alpes-Maritimes and Var regions. Jean-Claude Hardouin, the rector of the Nice Academy, explains this success by the implementation, since 2004, of a new curriculum designed to better tailor training to examinations. The inspection notes an improvement in students’ personal work, a more regular and more open investment in the field of knowledge.
The share of general baccalaureates remains predominant: 62% of new baccalaureates, or 2/3 of this population, come from “L”, “S”, or “ES” tracks. Among them, the Scientists dominate, due to a positive school orientation towards this path.
Regarding vocational and technological baccalaureates, they have slightly increased compared to the 2005-2006 period: +1.3% for the technological diploma and +5.1% for the vocational track.
The Nice Academy acknowledges: many students choose post-bac training somewhat randomly. Starting next year, it therefore commits to undertaking a fundamental action, notably through the establishment of a “major public service”, focused around three essential actions: information, guidance, and professional integration. This new project is based on the launch of a new technological tool: a website serving high school students. It allows them to consult success rates by type of baccalaureate, the chances of success in each university track, professional integration statistics, and even potential earnings.
The Nice Academy thus responds to the call of the Ministry of National Education which started in 2005, twenty-two major projects. Among these, the replacement of teachers during short absences. In 2006, ninety schools in Nice are practicing this new system.
Other measures: an institutional recognition of the status of parents of students, involving both their rights and their duties, a reform of the University Institutes of Teacher Training (IUFM), which consists of aligning them with universities, a revaluation of working conditions for teachers, noticeable on the pay slip but especially in terms of workload reduction, and greater emphasis on language learning, through class size reduction and grouping students by level to promote oral expression.
Finally, a new hope for disabled students. Under the Law on Equal Opportunities, young people with disabilities will now be better welcomed and educated in regular classes.
