The quantitative democratization of the French Physical Education between 1945 and 1981
Abstract
Between 1945 and 1981, the French government implemented multiple solutions to increase the scope of physical and sporting education within the French educational system. In light of the continuous increase in the number of students enrolled, the successive Ministers of National Education, Youth and Sports were not able to guarantee
the compulsory schedules, as shown by the numbers regarding the pupil-teacher ratio. It becomes clear that the compulsory five hours of physical education per week was an
illusion, and had in practice been modified in many establishments. The Sixties on the other hand reveal a contrasting situation in which urgent needs lead to concessions. However, equitative quantitative democratization begins only in the 70s, through drastic measures resting both on economic needs and educational choices. Thus, our discussion reveals the limits of a merely administrative management of teaching, from which qualitative dimensions should not be excluded.
