Viviane Isambert Jamati : The extension of public education and « lower standards » in secondary education.
Beginning with a vast survey on 9th grade students in public education, conducted by the National Institute for Professional Orientation, the author analyses the relationship, at the regional level, between the proportion of adolescents attending secondary school and the performance of these students. According to standardized tests, the students in the regions with higher schooling rates, who in fact, have been the object of little selection, contribute less than the others to the group which has the best performance rates. But if one does not stop at the very successful students, one realizes that there is little discrepancy between the average of both groups and that a non-selective school system has at least the advantage of raising the average standard of knowledge for the population as a whole; this superior average is more than a selective educational system would have produced.
