The French Ministry of National Education released its latest report on secondary school student performance, revealing both progress and concerning trends. Despite improvements in 6th-grade French scores, only half of students have satisfactory reading comprehension levels. Math skills remain particularly low, with 43% of students unaware that four hundredths equals 0.04. While disparities continue between general and vocational track students, progress in education priority networks has been noted, partially attributed to reduced class sizes. The report illustrates a mixed picture of achievement, with gender disparities persisting in specific subjects.
