Pas-de-Calais institutional and educational reorganization

Overview

The Pas-de-Calais department is undergoing structural changes in its public services, particularly within the education sector. Demographic shifts have led to a decline in student numbers, with public middle school enrollment expected to decrease by 1,356 students for the 2026 school year. In certain territories, projections suggest a 20% drop in enrollment by 2030. Despite these trends, Department President Jean-Claude Leroy has stated that the administration intends to maintain local public services and will not close middle schools in rural areas.

To support educational infrastructure, the Pas-de-Calais Departmental Council is investing 9 million euros into the extension and restructuring of the Collège du Pays de l’Allœu in Laventie. This project, which began in June 2023, includes an expanded boarding area, a restructured resource center, a new multipurpose room, and an enlarged dining hall designed to accommodate more than 500 students.
