Equipping university students with Tablets or laptops was a commitment to the current administration’s campaign of Marine Seine. Florence Thibault Raynot, Vice President and Assistant to the port It is fully expected that he will have to answer questions from teachers or parents about the subject. From there suffers “profound discord for this investment” from members of the board of directors of a college in City Osun…
Facing ‘deep disagreement’, ministry says it is ‘sorry’
However, in a letter addressed to the Seine-Maritime Department Head, the representatives of the pupils’ parents and teachers expressed it clearly. Florence Thibodeau Raynot replies ONE one, “I’m really sorry but if they didn’t want to, we wouldn’t force them. And we wouldn’t buy shelves if it was in order to keep them in the cupboards. They’ll just have to take their responsibilities and explain to the parents of this institution why the college students won’t receive for tablets.”
€40 million budget for equipment over four years for all middle school students from 6 yearsAnd theVoted since September 2021. At the request of the agreement in principle with the boards of directors of all faculties.
So far, of the 108 councils surveyed, 92 have said they support it. Others are waiting for answers related to teacher training, the firewall in use, or Wifi. Théophile-Gautier is the only college that responded by mail and thus expressed its profound disagreement,
In the arguments presented by the representatives of the parents of the students and the teachers these questions appear in detail in reality.
But the signatories to the letter go much further and point specifically to an unused computer system: “It seems quite paradoxical to us that we invest in this kind of equipment while the college’s current computer system is almost broken. We are in 2022 and it seems incomprehensible to us that For the department, urgency is not the implementation of an effective computer system within organizations.The signatories are indignant and give examples.
The computers are lagging, no modification can be made by the referral staff in the institution, the time taken to repair and/or replace the equipment is too long and puts teachers in very uncomfortable situations (no computer, no possibility of the project, to broadcast… . . )
Florence Thibaudeau Rainot admits: “We received a request from this college for a modifier and will respond positively. Otherwise, we had no crash reports prior to this letter.” To insist “the college is equipped with a computer for four students and there is fibre.”
More urgent investments
In their letter, the parents pointed out that other issues should be the subject of investment by the administration: “Teachers and children are cold in buildings, institutions are thermal sieves, camera is often broken and general computer malfunctions prevent teachers from accessing the network and effectively render computers useless. The interest is recurring.”
The vice president states that “copier maintenance is the responsibility of the college” which has an operating grant, and if there are unforeseen expenses an exceptional grant can be allocated. »
In search of educational arguments
It is difficult for Florence Thibault Raynot to hear the parents’ request for “the pedagogical arguments that allowed this decision”.
“I have never used tablets for youngsters but I saw the benefits in college. In Cantonese 2015, we equipped Claude Bernard College, thanks to our participation in a national programme. The result is really positive. After six years, everyone is convinced. Moreover, during the crisis, we managed From seeing the importance of digital access for all.”
Parents give “only a positive point” to this device, “to put digital versions of brochures on the tablet so as to meet the goal of miniaturizing the bag for 6And theBut we immediately regretted, “Unfortunately, this point was pointed out as not being planned because it is too complicated to deal with.”
Parents indicate their disapproval but not yet outright disapproval, thus requesting “a postponement of the department board’s decision until the requested information has been sent, studied and then discussed and a real consultation with teachers and parents taken place. Committed”.
