Abstract | This article deals with an initiative embarked upon by the government of France one year after widespread youth violence broke out in many disadvantaged communities in France. The initiative is aimed at adapting its 25-year-old "priority education" program to a landscape that has dramatically changed. The initiative is the centerpiece of a raft of policy changes aimed at reducing the chronic inequities that the scenes of rioting young people drove home. In this article, the author discusses a new form of educational triage, wherein three levels of "education prioritaire" with schools in the top-priority level are referred to as EP1. The author also presents elements of a plan to improve performance in the nation's disadvantaged , or "priority," public schools. These elements include: (1) Eliminate the "global method" for teaching reading; (2) Offer educational programs during school vacations; (3) Match 100,000 university-level students with 100,000 precollegiate students; (4) Offer high-school-age students one-on-one interviews; (5) Increase the number of scholarships; (6) Improve teacher training; and (7) Designate an official from the nation's elite corps of educational inspector generals.
