International audience ; This paper examines the situation of classroom assistants who were recruited three years ago in French schools. This research took place in 150 schools (academy of Burgundy) in which two age groups (8 and 10) were assessed both at the begining and the end of the school year. It concerned a large sample of classroom assistants (150) whose timetables have been collected to know precisely how their time is used in schools and how it may influence students achievement. First of all, the main results show that classroom assistants take part in a lot of varied activities, especially in academic fields. Secondly, those activities tend to have a positive impact on students achievement, particularly on the weakest ones. On the other hand, there is a break-even point when classroom assistants are very focused and devote most of their time to academic tasks; then, it can lead to a waste of students time. Finally, this research is interesting to both the teachers, in helping them in the way they make classroom assistants work, and to politicians to reflect on their professional abilities and employment.

Normalement la question du financement de l'éducation en Afrique est abordée sous l'angle du montant et de l'allocation des ressources. Très peu d'attention est portée à la manière concrète dont se réalise le financement tout au long du projet éducatif, défini comme l'ensemble des procédures qui vont de l'élaboration de la politique éducative à l'exécution des dépenses, en passant par la planification, la programmation et la budgétisation. Cet ouvrage met en évidence l'importance de cette réalisation: les défauts du projet éducatif, au regard du financement, sont de nature à rendre vaines les prescriptions traditionnelles de politique éducative ; il fait l'étiologie de ces défauts et en propose des remèdes. En tenant compte des difficultés spécifiques de la gestion des systèmes éducatifs, il étudie ensuite la forme que doit prendre celle-ci afin de prévenir de nouveaux dysfonctionnements; il propose une approche de la gestion par les résultats plutôt que par les moyens. Il met enfin en doute la pertinence des solutions structurelles au problème du financement que sont la privatisation, la décentralisation et les enclaves d'efficacité. (DÜI-Sbd)
