Font size

Frankrikes utbildningsminister Édouard Geffray har bjudit in de tre största elevföreningarna för gymnasieskolan till nya samtal på departementet senare på torsdagen, skriver The Guardian.

Mötet kommer efter att en färsk opinionsundersökning visat att fransmännen i stort sett stöder protesterna och instämmer i elevernas krav. Över hälften stöder demonstrationerna, men är splittrade i frågan om protesterna bör fortsätta.

Hundratals skolor stängda

224 gymnasie- och högstadieskolor är på torsdagen fortsatt stängda på grund av protesterna, skriver France 24 med hänvisning Frankrikes utbildningsdepartement. Runt 150 skolor har kunnat återuppta undervisningen igen, enligt departementet.

Under flera veckors tid har missnöjet bland Frankrikes gymnasieelever vuxit, i vad som beskrivs som en ovanligt stor protestvåg mot resursbrist i landets skolor.

Estonia's school success: order, teacher authority and critical thinking in focus

In Mustamäe high school in Tallinn, Estonian students show high reading comprehension and discipline despite challenges with digital distractions. The teachers have high status and freedom to design the teaching, while the students practice critical thinking by comparing their own analyzes with AI tools. Estonia also sees a decline in reading ability, but the result in PISA is still better than Sweden's.

Fristadskolan faces all-day mobile phone ban - the principal surprised by the positive effects

The sanctuary school has introduced an all-day cell phone ban where students hand in their phones at the start of school instead of collecting them per lesson. Principal Anna Granberg reports on positive consequences, while some students initially found it difficult to let go of their mobile phones. The school believes that adult staff can handle contact in crisis situations despite the ban.

Pisa results and screen debate: Estonia leads the way with trust in teachers

The latest Pisa results have reignited the debate about screens in school, with the Liberals and Education Minister Simona Mohamsson pointing to a "screen epidemic" as the cause. But results from 2018 and 2022 show that Swedish students performed better when digitization was at its highest, which speaks against a simple connection between screen use and deteriorating skills. Estonia is highlighted as a contrasting example: despite high digitization and no mobile phone ban, the country is at the top in reading ability, thanks to research-based reforms and trust in the professional judgment of teachers. In Sweden, research is used selectively to legitimize decisions that have already been made, while teachers are forced to constantly adapt to the crosshairs between digitization and de-digitization, which erodes their room for action and contributes to a teacher shortage. To reverse the knowledge trend, less political squeamishness and more trust in the teaching profession and collective research is required.
