الهدر المدرسي في تونس قبل انتشار وباء كوفيد-19 و بعده : المدرسة الإعدادية محمد محفوظ بصفاقس نموذجا

Abstract EN

The paper investigates school wastage in Tunisia through an empirical study in a preparatory school in Sfax.

the research relies on quantitative data on the issue while adopting a multidimensional approach giving priority to historical and political factors in the analysis.

indeed, the inadequate political treatment of the issue continues to aggravate the situation of public education in Tunisia.

the complexity of the phenomenon of wastage makes it necessary to take into account the contributions of other disciplines on the subject and to go beyond such simplistic explanations as those based on purely pedagogical reasons.

the COVID 19 pandemic has exacerbated the crisis of the public school, which is unable to provide online courses to students, the majority of whom are poor.

we have chosen to broaden the study by supposing that the pandemic threatens the right to education, especially for vulnerable groups, and causes new forms of attrition affecting even those who are considered good students.

this is a phenomenon that we propose to call “school inflation”, which translates into a superficial success.
