Characteristics of French education system
The French government does not encourage the school grading system-parents do not take their children into a good university and get a high diploma as their only guarantee for the future. French education is based on a series of principles such as fairness, freedom, freedom and equality. The state budget ensures that the education system meets the needs of all residents and opposes the influence of market principles on the operation of schools.

Civil servants and teachers

All teachers in France belong to civil servants, and teachers in private schools must also employ "civil servants" with teacher qualification certificates.

The nearest school

Nearby enrollment has also become an important principle to facilitate children's enrollment and eliminate educational inequality.

Education in poor communities

Residents in affluent neighborhoods have a high level of education, a good family environment, few immigrants and a relatively high level of education in schools. It is difficult to improve the education level in poor neighborhoods and neighborhoods with many immigrants, which leads to de facto inequality. The government tries its best to allocate funds to schools in difficult neighborhoods and allocate more good teachers.

key school

The French government stipulates that high schools have the freedom to choose students according to a certain proportion, so the concept of "key middle schools" only exists in high schools, but key middle schools are generally evaluated by various media according to the passing rate of examinations, not decided by the government.

Housing phenomenon in school districts

Some key middle schools are located in more popular neighborhoods, the most famous of which is the Latin quarter of Paris where several first-class middle schools are concentrated. There is also a similar phenomenon of "school district housing". Parents will rent or even buy a house to help their children enter school.

Personalized development

French parents generally agree to develop according to their children's characteristics. Few people only value the enrollment rate and good schools, and it is definitely not the mainstream to strive for children to enter key schools.
