National Petition for withdrawal of the pupil filing in the 1st degree

BBA France / Correso, January 22, 2008.- The Big Brother Awards join an initiative of parents, teachers and activists of Human Rights to obtain the withdrawal of a computer file supposed to file all students from 3 years; a file that has become widespread in all kindergartens and schools at the beginning of 2009.

Launched at the initiative of Correso, the social resistance collective of Rennes - which was one of the first groups of citizens to denounce the excesses of “student database” - this petition has already collected more than 200 signatures of personalities from the world of education, philosophy, pediatrics and psychology, as Albert Jacquard, Jacques Testart, Laurent Ott, Hubert Montagné, as well as representatives of associations involved in the protection of children and the welfare.

You can now sign and take note of the main arguments that the basis for such action: http://petition.bigbrotherawards.eu.org/Signez-la-petition-pour-le-retrait-de-Base-eleves

Recall that it was in Rennes that the first school directors (assuming also, in most cases the teaching profession), have protested against this precocious filing children. An action that has been distinguished by the last BBA jury by giving them the Voltaire award 2006.

In a lengthy document published last summer in connection with this action include (at end of article) copies of official documents that preceded the creation - “experimental” at first - of this file in early 2005; partial documents that are out of anonymity due to the insistence of journalists and not thanks to the desire for transparency of the authorities.

One final note, it is under pressure from the teachers, parents and union activists that the Ministry of National Education has decided, in late 2007, to delete some fields and irrelevant issue with the “educational” purpose of that file (data on children of foreign parents, in particular), which is the harbinger of worse on the next evolution of this file at the whim of repressive policies involving undocumented persons and those in the midst of insecurity. Possible crosses can be seen for example with the new file “Eloi”, formalized in December 2007.

A recent parents consultation, innocuous at first sight, on their language and culture of origin could prove too significant risk of diversion without any purpose with the intention (source: Toulon LDH).
