Should students leaving primary school take a test of physical and sporting skills when arriving at college? This should be announced this Thursday, April 3, the two Ministers of National Education and Sports on Thursday, April 3, Elisabeth Borne and Marie Barsacq, in a trip to Reims as part of an Olympic and Paralympic week, according to information of Parisian Posted Wednesday.
Such form assessments have already taken place last year on a very limited contingent of students, on the occasion of the start of the school year in September 2024. In total, nearly 4,000 college students of 6th grade had passed these tests, responding to an initiative announced in 2023 by Emmanuel Macron. The Ministry of National Education was able to collect data from this experiment, in order to learn from it, which must be published this Thursday, April 3 in the morning.
« Strengthened by these conclusions, Élisabeth Borne, the Minister of National Education, and Marie Barsacqhis sports counterpart, wish to go further and generalize these tests to all college students who will enter 6th at the next school year ”thus relates the Parisian. EPS teachers will therefore be encouraged to assess their students as soon as the next school year, in September 2025. « If there is no proper obligation, there is a strong incentive on the part of the ministries to seize the measure to better adapt the courses according to the provisions of children »specifies the daily.
By generalizing these tests, the government intends to emphasize the Sport at schoolone of the axes desired by Emmanuel Macron in his sport aspect during his second five -year term. Promised by the President of the Republic and implemented from 2022, the generalization of the thirty minutes of physical activity for the primary, a measure inspired by what is done in Scotland and intended to fight against the sedentary lifestyle of the students, still struggles to settle in the daily life of the schoolchildren.
