The meaning of school guidance

Synopsis

Although the question of equality of opportunity has always been asked, since Bourdieu, in terms of social origin, it is rarely asked in terms of pupils’ geographical origin. This situation undermines the promise of equality of opportunity that lies at the heart of the republican contract and threatens to destroy social cohesion. Throughout the 2020 school year, the documentary follows a few students in their final year at the Lycée Ango in Dieppe, in particular two friends, Julia and Gwénaëlle, as they make their career choices.
