Lower secondary schools have very different social compositions, which is regularly described as a factor reinforcing educational inequalities. The level and components of segregation vary from one département to another, particularly in view of the degree of segregation between municipalities and neighbourhoods, the weight of the private sector and economic inequalities. At the national level, segregation between lower secondary schools varies little over time. Segregation among public schools is on a downward trend and the differences in social composition between the public and private sectors are increasing, with the private sector enrolling more and more students from privileged backgrounds. Since 2014, segregation has decreased significantly in around twenty départements, most of which are located in the North and West. Segregation between public schools has fallen there, and the gaps between the public and private sectors have not increased. Conversely, in about twenty départements located more in the southern half of the country, segregation has increased, with a marked rise in the gaps between the public and private sectors. |
