Minimum Competencies Programme: 5th Year of Fundamental Education

The Direction de l'Enseignement Fondamental issued this program in November 2019 to restart the 2019 to 2020 school year after a crisis that, its foreword says, affected every department, district and school zone. It sets minimum competencies for the fifth year, spread in weekly slices from December, and the ministry notes that it cannot replace the objectives of the official programs valid since March 1989. Each table gives month, week, theme, general objective, retained specific objectives, content elements and the page of the detailed program. Mathematics covers reading and writing whole numbers, fractions and decimals up to billions, addition of large numbers, geometric objects, lengths and areas, and problem solving. Experimental sciences start with the circulatory system and matter and its manifestations. French opens with oral communication and grammar, including splitting a simple sentence into noun and verb groups.
