Mobile phones banned at the start of the school year, colleges, even some high schools: Parliament voted definitively Monday, after a final pbadage before the Assembly, a proposed law LREM wanted as "a strong signal", with a part of "political display" for oppositions.
Translation of a campaign promise by Emmanuel Macron, the text on "the supervision of the use of mobile phones in schools", on which deputies and senators had found a compromise, was adopted by 62 votes against one.
If the LREM, MoDem, UDI-Agir-Independents supported this "form of right to disconnect", LR, Socialists, Rogue and Communists abstained before "a communication operation", "political posting "," a law of circumstance "that" will not change anything ".
Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer, who has pinpointed "contradictions" in opposition arguments, has touted an "entry into the 21st century" law that "sends a message to French society" but also internationally, with "other interested countries".
This will "promote a more serene school year", for the rapporteur Cathy Racon-Bouzon (LREM).
Nearly nine young people on ten from 12 to 17 years old (86%) own a mobile phone in France. But the use of the laptop disrupts the ability to pay attention in the clbadroom, the school climate, reduces physical activity in playgrounds, when it does not expose violent or badgraphic content, have insisted several supporters of the device. 19659002] The text prohibits the use of any connected object (laptop, tablet, watch …) in schools and colleges. There will be exceptions "for educational purposes" – hitherto prohibited – left to the discretion of each institution in its rules of procedure, or for children with disabilities.
Activities related to teaching but outside, such as sports, will also be concerned.
High schools will have the possibility, but not the obligation, to register the prohibition, total or partial, of the mobile phone and other connected objects in their rules of procedure.
– Portable "intrusive" everywhere –
The Code of Education prohibits, since the law of July 12, 2010, laptops "during any teaching activity and in the places provided by the rules of procedure".
In unison with other detractors, Frédéric Reiss (LR) ruled that this law "carried by the UMP group at the time was sufficient, pending a real law on digital at school, announced by the government. "
Affirming that" about half of the colleges registered the prohibition of the portable in clbad and in all or part of the playground ", Alain David (PS) also worried about" problems logistics and cost "to store laptops.
The existing ban was not effective everywhere and lacked a solid legal foundation, pleaded minister and rapporteur.
" No teacher supports the presence of the laptop in clbad, "said Alexis Corbière, former teacher, emphasizing reinforcements of school life. The challenge is "the intrusive nature of the mobile phone in everyone's life", for this Insoumis, emphasizing that "the President of the Republic, when he received the team of France (football) at the Elysee, has took out his cell phone and took a selfie, was there any pedagogy with regard to the younger generations? "
And" let's look at the hemicycle ", added Elsa Faucillon (PCF), for whom this law can also "give the feeling of not trusting the teaching teams."
Heads of schools, for whom the measure is useful but not a "big bang", will decide the terms of prohibition (places, conditions) , the ministry providing a vade-mecum.
Lack of knowledge of the law may lead to the confiscation of the device, allowing "to involve the parents at the time of restitution", according to Mrs. Racon-Bouzon.
Pleading for a "modern approach to technology" and "discernment", the minister defended u a dual approach, "defensive" and "offensive"
The text aims to strengthen education for a "responsible and enlightened" use of digital tools and resources. "Progress has only the soul of the one who uses it", slipped the rapporteur, citing François Mitterrand, in 1989.
