Haut Conseil De L'éducation

The Haut Conseil de l'éducation is a French body set up in 2005, in a consultative capacity as regards essential knowledge, educational programmes and the evaluation of exam results. Established by the loi d'orientation et de programme pour l'avenir de l'école of April 23, 2005, it took over from the Haut Conseil de l'évaluation de l'école, which existed from October 2000 to November 2005. It was replaced by the Conseil supérieur des programmes (High Council for Curricula) created by the July 8, 2013 law of orientation and programming for the refoundation of the School of the Republic. The Conseil d'évaluation de l'École now plays this role of evaluating the results of the education system.
