  • Unit 2: education
  • French students go to school from 8am to 4pm and don't attend school on a Wednesday or Sunday.
  • I think it is important for schools to remain secular to promote science but failure to teach religious education may not give students understandingor empathy for religious beliefs.
  • According to PISA, French students are more affected by their social and economic situation than other European countries.
  • French students also face a lack of student-teacher support which creates anxiety and low-self esteem.
  • France doesn't appear to put as much pressure on pupils as they spend less time studying, have less school anxiety and less bullying.
  • Only 7.4% of French students are dissatisfied with their life.
  • If I did the French baccalaureate I would want to do the scientific path as I like psychology and biology.
  • Les grandes  écoles are more prestigious but I wouldn't want to go to one because studying for two years on top of la lycée to get into university is unnecessary.
  • Un-employment amongst young people is double that of the UK in 2014 and is said to be due to a lack of workplace skills.
  • When one has finished la lycée and doesn't want to go to university immediately, they can go on a gap year. This would allow them work and life experience to take into university.
  • Having a degree shows employers that you have employable skills which means you are more likely to secure a secure job. Universities also help graduates to get jobs.
  • I think universities want you more if you have specialised before, but for young people it is important to keep their options open.
  • Pros of higher education in France - low tuition fees, low rent costs and more graduate opportunities.
  • Cons of higher education in France - high living costs and difficulties getting into private universities.

The core concepts of education are often taught in a way that makes them seem like an easy and simple concepts. These core concepts are the foundation of what we teach and learn, they can be confusing to students who haven't had any experience with them, and they can be hard to explain to students who have had some experience with them. I also think that educational platforms like https://edubirdie.net/blog/is-edubirdie-legal-or-cheating are worth exploring. The best way I've found to teach these core concepts is by using examples of things that happen in real life.
