Understanding the New Educational Framework

Geoffroy Leclerc introduces a project focused on implementing new educational referentials to replace outdated competency frameworks. These referentials define what students will learn from early childhood to secondary education, emphasizing content over methodology. The project aims to modernize education, promote interdisciplinary learning, and reduce student failure rates. Developed through a participative process involving various stakeholders, the referentials are designed to be precise, realistic, and coherent. Implementation began in 2020 and will continue progressively, with a focus on monitoring and evaluation to ensure effectiveness.
