Two million students, and me and me and me .... Catholic private education is steadily gaining students. In this season, 12,436 children (and their parents) preferred Jeanne-d'Arc to Jules-Ferry for their schooling. This is an increase of 0.6% of the private workforce compared to 2016, which is observed in all regions, according to figures released Tuesday by the General Secretariat of Catholic Education (which represents 95% of private contract ).
It is at the level of colleges and high schools that the attractiveness of the private sector is the clearest, with 13,000 more young people than last year.
A figure impossible to compare with that of the public (the final number of students this fall is not yet known), but confirming a trend in substance: in nine years, the Catholic private won 93,000 students. Why this craze, while the institutions victims of their success push the walls with classes to more than 30 in high school, or 40 in high school students?
A better school climate in the private
"Religious reason plays very little, observes the sociologist François Dubet. Private education has the reputation of a better school climate, teachers supposedly more mobilized, because recruited directly by the school, and with absences more often replaced. Parents are also looking for a certain social bond. "

According to family representatives, Catholic schools would seduce by "the educational project of the institution, which parents come to watch in the open days," says Caroline Saliou, president of the Association of Parents of Free Education (Apel). "Families often put their children in different institutions: this is proof that they are always looking for a school that matches their particular profile." And in this market, private colleges are showing better results. In the public sector: 87% of young people in the private sector master the skills expected at the end of the 3rd year in French, and 92% in maths, compared to 78% and 75% in the public, excluding priority education.
This result is explained less by the quality of the teaching than by the profile of the students. In spite of the efforts shown for more diversity, private education counts less than 20% of students coming from disadvantaged backgrounds, against 40% on average in the public.
