\"\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

A decree<\/span><\/a>\u00a0dated August 11 of this year breaks with the basic principle of recruiting heads of secondary schools for more than two centuries: that of “esprit de corps” for an institution called first “Instruction. public \u201dthen\u201c National education \u201d.\u00a0Clearly, until now, it was necessary to have worked in education, or come from category A of the public service, to be able to claim a post of principal or principal.<\/span><\/p>\n

A sign of the times and perhaps of times where we are until having forgotten this “spirit” and its historical reasons, it was decided that henceforth (up to 10% of new recruits), there would be a\u00a0<\/span>third route<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to the competitive recruitment examination for management personnel: anyone from the private sector, the associative sector or simply elected may apply on the sole condition of justifying a professional activity of at least eight years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently,\u00a0<\/span>82% of management staff<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in post have previously been teachers in primary or secondary education, 16% educational advisers or psychologists from the National Education;\u00a0not to mention the 2% who came from other administrations, via a\u00a0fairly recent\u00a0<\/span>second channel<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

The justification put forward by the ministry is that it is a question of dealing with the drop in the number of candidates and opening up the profession of heads of secondary schools to people “with a managerial profile and less exclusively pedagogical”<\/span><\/p>\n

School exception<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The reference to the \u201cmanagerial profile\u201d has the merit of clarity;\u00a0on the other hand, that with \u201cless exclusively pedagogical\u201d criteria denotes a prodigious impasse on the fundamental reasons for the implementation of the type of recruitment of school heads for more than two centuries: they have little to do with for “educational” reasons, not mentioned by its illustrious founders.<\/span><\/p>\n

The state centralization of the French school was carried out according to very specific modalities, properly speaking “extraordinary” (that is to say, not coming under the “ordinary” administration).\u00a0We cannot understand the meaning and the singularity of the centralization of the French school if we do not understand that it was a question of setting up not only a public administration but a public corporation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The very use of the term \u201cUniversity\u201d (\u00a0<\/span>\u201cUniversitas\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0means \u201ccorporation\u201d in the Middle Ages) clearly situates what is at stake: to create a body whose spirit would be at the service of the state in place.\u00a0The Imperial University was set up by Napoleon I\u00a0<\/span>st<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0is an administration: it is a\u00a0<\/span>secular corporation<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

The national territory is divided into academies (one per court of appeal), at the head of which are placed rectors.\u00a0It is remarkable that the Emperor – who nevertheless set up the strong presence of the prefects in the departments – does not want the administration of the school to fall under the common administration: teachers and heads of establishments are responsible to a body – the academy and its rector – which has no equivalent (because the regions do not yet exist, and the departments are at a lower level).<\/span><\/p>\n

Napoleon indeed considers that the school (which is in his eyes a cultural and spiritual magistracy) must be, like Justice, directed in a specific and autonomous way, and by his own.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, and above all, the system of ranks and access to the various positions are arranged so that one can make a career, so that there is body and spirit of the body.\u00a0As Napoleon himself said,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere would be a teaching body if all the principals, censors and professors of the Empire had one or more chiefs, as the Jesuits had a general and provincials;\u00a0if one could only be principal or censor after having been a professor (\u2026);\u00a0the teaching body being one, the spirit which animates it would necessarily be one;\u00a0and, in this respect, the new faculty would far outweigh the old corporations \u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Public corporation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Fran\u00e7ois Guizot, the author of the great\u00a0<\/span>law of 1833<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on the school, is clearly in the continuation of Napoleon I\u00a0<\/span>st<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0and “University” regarding the mode of organization and school governance .<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSovereign authority,\u201d he said, \u201ccan direct public education in two ways: 1 \u00b0) by way and according to the principles of general and ordinary administration 2 \u00b0) by entrusting it to a large trained body according to certain rules and submitted to a special government (\u2026).\u00a0It can only succeed by inspiring the same spirit, a common tendency [\u2026] \u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ultimately, it is a question of setting up not only a public administration, but a public corporation (a kind of “lay congregation”), that is to say an organization contributing to the achievement of the same end and having a common inspiration and moral unity.<\/span><\/p>\n

We may be (almost) done with it.\u00a0But this is what is also and above all at stake. All the more so since we are nevertheless easily (and sometimes at all times) put forward these days the Republic, the republican school, its demands, its rights and duties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, we may be right to make these changes in the recruitment of school leaders.\u00a0But it would still have to be done in full knowledge of the facts: namely what we can really gain, but also what we can really lose.\u00a0All this cannot be reduced to considerations of a purely managerial nature.\u00a0Or, it would be advisable to clearly justify this choice, as political as any other.<\/span><\/p>\n
