Jules Verne international mobility program
The international mobility program is designed for permanent teachers. These teachers are seconded or made available to schools or foundations managing educational establishments abroad. They can also work in other structures such as faculties of education or Alliances Françaises, subject to agreement between their home academy and the host establishment.
The program is open to all tenured primary and secondary school teachers in the public sector, whatever their discipline or field of study. Priority is given to teachers wishing to take part in bilateral educational cooperation projects and enhance their language skills.
Their main mission will be to teach in French. However, in agreement with the teacher concerned and with the French and foreign educational authorities responsible, part of this teaching may be given in a foreign language if it forms part of a specific project that justifies it.
The host countries are chosen by the académies according to their bilateral agreements with the countries concerned. Schools with a French program are not eligible for the Jules Verne program.
Terms, remuneration and status
Duration: one school year, renewable twice after authorization.
Teachers are “placed at the disposal” of foreign countries, and remain in an active position in their home country, or are placed in a secondment position. They are placed under both French and local supervision. They work in the local education system in one or more establishments. They may teach in French or in the local language (depending on their level).
Teachers on secondment continue to receive the remuneration and allowances associated with their grade and profession (except functional allowances). Additional remuneration or assistance in kind may be granted by the host country. Transport costs are borne by the employee. You must find your own accommodation.
On return : Teachers will be reassigned to their academy of origin for secondary school staff, or to their département of origin for primary school staff.
To ensure that your academy benefits fully from this mobility, the academy will take particular care to ensure that, on their return, staff can pass on the benefits of this immersion to the educational community, by facilitating their reinvestment and participation in the development and European and international openness of the education system.
Teachers must draw up a detailed report on their activities. This must be accompanied by a report drawn up by the head of the host establishment on the content of the activities carried out by the teacher. These documents will be forwarded to the Rector of the Académie for the attention of the Director of Human Resources and the Dareic.
Entry requirements
B2 level (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) in the language of the host country or in one of the eight most widely taught languages (English, German, Arabic, Chinese, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian), reinvestment of the knowledge acquired during the immersion year in teaching and participation in the European and international openness of the education system, activity report to be sent to the home academy.
