The French ministry of Education has recognized the importance of opening schools to foreign languages and cultures. Three systems currently co-exist in the French school system, with a significant focus on languages:
-
"Section binationales":
available only for German, Spanish & Italian;
characterized by a joint work of French & foreign ministry of educations to define programs.
-
"Sections internationales":
created to welcome 25% to 50% foreign students and integrate them, the balance being French students;
high level language, litterature, cultural program made possible by the mixed classes French / foreigners;
ENL/ESL focus.
-
"Sections européennes":
the most populated category, allowing additional language courses & focus;
EFL focus.
More on these differences can be investigated here: Différence entre une section européenne et une section internationale du baccalaureat, as well as on the Eduscol site http://eduscol.education.fr/pid23139/europe-et-monde.html.
