And teaching program is a study program of different disciplines taught in an educational institution, whether public or private [ first ] . Develop the program, initiate consultations, organize the necessary support, all of this is a process spread over several years. The main steps are: the design and writing of programs, which include processes of rereading and approval, and the development of related systemic support [ 2 ] .

In France, schooling is not compulsory, it is the instruction that is. Parents can therefore choose to educate their child in a school establishment (public or private) or to ensure this instruction themselves. Instruction is compulsory from 3 years old until the age of 16 years, and training is compulsory from 16 to 18 years [ 3 ] .

France has a centralized education system, in which the national program is defined, applied and evaluated at the national level. The schooling of the nursery school at the end of college is organized in four successive educational cycles [ 4 ] :

1 ° Cycle 1 corresponds to the three levels of the nursery school called respectively: small section, medium section and large section;

2 ° Cycle 2 corresponds to the first three years of the elementary school called respectively: preparatory course (CP), elementary course first year (CE1) and elementary courses second year (CE2);

3 ° Cycle 3 corresponds to the two years of the elementary school according to the cycle of fundamental learning and the first year of the college called respectively: medium first year course (CM1), average second year course (CM2) and sixth class;

4 ° Cycle 4, cycle of deepening, corresponds to the last three years of the college called respectively: fifth, fourth and third classes.

In France, ECD/EDH is mainly provided through civic education, which is taught by history and geography teachers. The priorities are defined at the national level and implemented at the local level, by the adoption of key skills such as “civic and social skills” or the development of “a humanist culture”.

In France, the Civic Education Program includes practical learning in the form of case studies and the Ministry of Education encourages schools each year to provide for the integration of education activities for democratic citizenship and the human rights education in their annual action plans.

In the past, these efforts were placed under the exclusive direction of the Ministry of Public Education (MEP). This time, within the framework of the reform of citizenship education, both the working groups and the steering committee – responsible at the highest level of project management, under the direction of the ministry – were made up of employees of the employees MEP, but also external consultants, including individual consultants, but also organizations [ 19 ] . One of the major innovations of Costa Rican Curritical Reform is the possibility for the community to participate in the development of educational projects. This advance is important, since it allows various institutions (both public and private) belonging to school communities to participate in the planning of activities aimed at encouraging local development. Contact with government bodies, the various public authorities, and even with the local private sector, allows students to integrate their educational projects into the dominant reality of their environment. It also offers other sectors to support and promote the development of activities that will be advantageous for their communities [ 20 ] .

It is therefore the responsibility of the Ministry of Education to bring clarification and provide directives to schools and teachers to allow the application of the law.

The stakeholders in this regard are those which are directly concerned by the implementation of Curricula, or who will be responsible for it, generally because of their direct link with schools.
