- Anne Hiltpold communicated the working environment for the reform of the cycle.
- She projects that the students all follow in 9e Year the highest level in all disciplines, with special educational supports in certain branches.
- Two establishments will test pilot experiences to offer such support in French and mathematics.
- For the 10e And 11th, the idea is to offer sectors correlated with secondary II orientations.
What about the reform of the orientation cycle (CO), Three years after CO22 failurewhich aimed to establish mixed classes in 9e et 10e Year? On June 19, the chief of public education (DIP), Anne Hiltpold, communicated by e-mail to the teaching staff the framework for reflection in which it intends to conduct the work in collaboration with the land.
For the 9e Year, she projects that students follow the highest level in each discipline in the French -speaking study plan. “There would be a single type of class with mixed students and the same requirements, so we can speak of a heterogeneous year,” according to Michaël Savoy, of the teaching union (Famco). Anne Hiltpold does not comment.
To teachers, she communicates that the intention is to (re) give the CO its role of orientation, by shifting towards 9e The orientation process currently carried out in 8p, based on results in two disciplines. Which ones? French and math, specifies Michaël Savoy.
Differentiate lessons
Certain disciplines could benefit from particular educational support in order to allow teachers to differentiate their lessons according to the capacities of students, which is a necessity in a heterogeneous framework.
In this perspective, two establishments (Colombières et Vists) will be involved as early as the start of the school year in a pilot project around the constitution of “needs groups” in math and French.
Anne Hiltpold did not wish to explain her e.mail from June 19. The DIP said: “This email was intended for employees, with whom the magistrate wishes to build this reform. She has not planned to communicate beyond for the time being. ”

The goal is to ensure that several classes have lessons in the same discipline at the same time. This will allow teachers to constitute, for a limited period, groups with students from the different classes sharing the same needs or difficulties – a common practice in primary school.
These experiences will be followed for a possible generalization when the new model of 9e year. “We meet with Anne Hiltpold on this vision of a 9e Heterogeneous, it’s positive, ”greets Michaël Savoy.
At the earliest in 2027
For the 10e and 11e However, “everything is still very vague,” he warns. Anne Hiltpold Imagine “Sectors correlated with orientation at 12e degree, in connection with the offers of secondary II ”. Michaël Savoy translates: “There would be college, ECG, learning,” there would be a risk of changing cosmetic the only name of the current sections? “It is possible,” admits Michaël Savoy.
According to him, the State Councilor wishes to break the hierarchy between the sectors by valuing all the routes. How? “This will be part of next year’s work,” according to Michaël Savoy. A track would be to allow students pulled down by a single discipline to stay for all the others in the sector. And vice versa: if a student shines in a particular discipline, he could study it in the higher sector. Anne Hiltpold does not comment.
“At the earliest, the deployment of the new model would be made from August 2027, starting with the new volley of 9e“, Specifies the communication department of the magistrate.
The deadline will depend on the progress of the work and the reception by the politician, then possibly by the people of the orientations which will have been selected. As a reminder, On March 4, 2001, 64.33% of the voters refused the establishment of a 7th heterogeneous (7e was the current 9e).
This socialist project had been fought by the Radical Party, the political family of Anne Hiltpold, and the Christian Democrats. At the time, three heterogeneous establishments coexisted with sections cycles, and a report had concluded that the two systems were equivalent in terms of academic success.
In Geneva in May, CO22, fought by the PLR, the UDC and the Vert’liberals, was narrowly refused in the polls. He planned in 9e et 10e that students take the same courses with differentiated requirements, before an orientation towards maturity or certificate in 11e. If this solution divided, there was consensus on the need to reform the current system which confines the less school students in “ghettos classes” without prospects.
