Part of the French students “lost foot” with the school system during the first confinement, from March to May 2020, while all the lessons were given remotely.
For the National Education, it is not a question of “school dropouts” (young people who leave the system without diploma, neither training, nor job, editor’s note), but rather of pupils having “disinvested”.
Six figures to better understand
March to May 2020
4%“They were 8% at the start of confinement”, details the National Education. On May 29, the Minister of Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, announced that the proportion had fallen to 4%, or about 500,000 students out of 12 million, all levels combined.
60%Only 60% of middle school students and 85% of high school students said they had attended a virtual class given by a teacher as part of their schoolwork. Other activities, such as reading documents, were however more observed (97% of middle school students and 95% of high school students).
The 2021 bac disrupted by the Covid-19: what consequences for the candidates?
2 out of 5 studentsTwo in five secondary school students say they lacked motivation “often” (22%) or “very often” (15%) during the first confinement. The other most common difficulties were the lack of understanding of the instructions and the difficulties to connect.
38%This is the proportion of secondary school students who declared that they spent more than three hours per day on school activities during confinement. A different investment depending on their level: 52% of pupils considered “excellent” by their parents studied for more than 3 hours, against 28% of pupils with “severe difficulties”.

In September
1,4%Despite the confinement, the repetition rate of students is down at the start of the 2020 school year. It is 1.9% in third (compared to 2.3% in 2019) and 1.4% in terminal, compared to 5.9% last year. This rate is however slightly higher in CM2: from 0.6% to 0.7%.
Open, closed … What is the situation of schools in our European neighbors?
-2,5The overall level of CP and CE1 students is down slightly, according to the 2020-2021 assessments. The share of students with satisfactory proficiency has decreased “whatever the area evaluated” compared to the previous year. In CP, 77.6% of children had a satisfactory command of the knowledge “of the name of the letters and the sound they produce” in September, against 80.1% last year. That is 2.5 percentage points less.
Did the students return to class in September?
According to the SNUipp FSU union, the majority of primary school students “have returned”. For the second degree, the finding seems more difficult to establish according to the teachers’ union of Unsa, which has “no feedback on the subject”. Only figure provided by the National Education, that of dropout in vocational high school, down sharply at the start of the school year (13.4% at the end of the first CAP, against 19% in 2019, 7.8% against 10% at the end of the second professional and 8.6% instead of 11% at the end of the first).
