How often can people apply for transfers? Seems like a very sensible way of enabling treachers to gain experiences of a variety of schools and contexts. Is this directly linked to professional development and ongoing training?About the french system of teachers transfers :
There are two periods for teachers tranfers
- transfers from one school district to another (january), for volunteers : one can only ask for entering a new school district, according to his score (score depends on length of service as a teacher and in the local school, teacher's rank, number of children, etc.)

Hi there,Do French schools still do that system where - towards the end of one's career - one can opt to lose all posts of responsibility and drop to a half timetable, on a two-thirds salary?

They can apply for it each year if they want to. But, usually, when they have the area they want they stay there till the end of the career.How often can people apply for transfers?

When a teacher tranfers, he will loose a part of his score (used for the transfer : points related to the length of service in the former school for example).How often can people apply for transfers?

Roughly, at the college (11-15 years old) :
- 6e : Ancient World – for instance Greek history, 10 hours
- 5e : Medieval and Modern history
- 4e : Modern Europe, from 1600 to 1914
- 3e : The world from 1914 to nowadays

Same curriculum everywhere. It's a national curriculum designed by MoE (historians, inspectors), and a great majority of french teachers are strongly attached to that (idem in maths, french, ancient languages, english, german spanish, etc.). National curricula are a condition of liberty (protection against local political interventions) and equality (between the school districts and between the schools). Every year we should end the curriculum (theoretically : in fact time is often missing, but with the curriculum we have hourly suggestions for every chapter).Roughly, at the college (11-15 years old) :
- 6e : Ancient World � for instance Greek history, 10 hours
- 5e : Medieval and Modern history
- 4e : Modern Europe, from 1600 to 1914
- 3e : The world from 1914 to nowadays
Is this curriculum prescribed by the government or do you have an element of choice over what is taught in each school, town, region?
Also: How important a subject is history considered to be by politicians etc? I know daniel will have seen the threads here about history in the Uk being under threat, is the same the case in France?
