Fonds bilingue: 58 programmes et écoles bilingues se partagent 150.000 dollars

C’est Noël pour les programmes bilingues aux Etats-Unis. 150.000 dollars issus du Fonds pour l’enseignement bilingue, inauguré par Emmanuel Macron en septembre, ont été ventilés entre 58 écoles et programmes français-anglais publics représentant plus de 24.000 élèves (liste ci-dessous) pour acheter du matériel ou soutenir des événements culturels notamment. L’annonce a été faite, mardi 23 janvier, par la conseillère culturelle Bénédicte de Montlaur lors d’un petit-déjeuner avec la presse à New York.
Soixante dix-neuf établissements ont répondu à l’appel à projets cette année. Selon les statistiques de FACE et des Services culturels de l’Ambassade de France aux Etats-Unis, 59% des projets retenus ont demandé des fonds pour acquérir des ressources pédagogiques bilingues. Plus de la moitiés des élèves dans 36% des écoles financées cette année par le fonds bénéficient de repas gratuits ou à prix réduits.
Ce fonds bilingue a été créé pour couvrir les besoins humains et matériels des programmes bilingues lancés ces dernières années dans les écoles publiques américaines. Au total, 400.000 dollars seront ventilés par an sur cinq ans, soit 150.000 pour le programme de bourses, 180.000 en bourses destinées spécifiquement à la formation de futurs enseignants et 70.000 pour aider les écoles à accueillir des enseignants de français stagiaires.
