Voluntary help in a French school


Marc

Recommended Posts

My daughter would like to mimprove her French after A-levels and was considering taking a year out and giving voluntary help in a primary school for a few months.  We thought this would be straightforward but there appears to be the usual red-tape and an exam(?) so the Maire informs us.  Has anybody heard of or sat this exam? Any information or other ideas are welcome.

She's not eligible to work as a foreign language assistant through the central bureau (British Council) as you have to have done two years of higher education to apply.  I think she would find it easier to find a school that wants to take her on, which would then help with any paperwork.  They would presumably want a criminal records check and a health test of some kind.

Thanks to both of you for your replies.

Apparently we can send a 'covenance' signed by her teacher and head in the UK directly to the head asking for a 'stage' with a cv & letter.  I think this is well worth doing but my daughter might, of course, change her mind!
