Transparency of health issues in schools (FR0066)

What is the public problem that the commitment will address? This commitment will help take better account of health and environmental issues in schools in line with public education values.

What is the commitment? This commitment involves the following actions: 1. Publish open data relating to pandemic management (number of closed schools/classes, number of confirmed COVID cases among students/staff, number of tests conducted) 2. Every year, publish the number of healthcare positions covered at département, academic and regional levels for the previous academic year 3. Set up a committee for education on health, citizenship and the environment (CESCE) in all educational institutions 4. Document and publish information on innovative educational initiatives implemented in school settings (particularly vocational schools) that have enabled students, public employees and citizen volunteers contribute to pandemic management measures

How will the commitment contribute to solving the public problem? This commitment will help improve transparency around health and environment issues in schools. It promotes health, civic values and equality, in particular by strengthening ties between educational institutions, parents and outside partners on issues such as marginalisation, at-risk behaviour, violence, physical, mental and social health (especially nutrition and sex education) and addiction prevention.

Why is this commitment relevant to OGP values? This commitment will also open the door to new collaborative initiatives with education partners in the areas of health and sustainability education.

Additional information This commitment is part of France’s Agenda 2030 for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, as advocated by the Citizens’ Climate Convention and the Climate and Resilience Bill.
