1.2. Objectives and goals of primary education programs
Programs not only serve to specify the concepts to be taught, the portions
to know to study in the year. They mainly have the ambition to be both utilitarian and educational.
They suggest and guide educational progress. They ensure continuity between the past and the
present.
Paraprofessionals, it must be understood that our teaching must increasingly translate into
terms of behaviors :
communicate, inform oneself, know how to use devices, tools, but also make
handcrafted products... ;
to adapt to various kinds of changes, particularly in information technology and technology;
identify a problem and propose the appropriate solution(s);
save the environment and benefit from it.
Paraeducational, it must be understood that in life, at school and in the education provided,
will be
Cultivate the virtues that form a modern and democratic society, namely: research
of truth, faith in human reason, intellectual rigor, and a sense of responsibility,
self-respect and respect for others, the spirit of solidarity and cooperation, the refusal of racism, the
tolerance.
To enable the child to integrate harmoniously into their environment, active methods
seem to us the most appropriate. The main trends are:
the call for the student's own activity;
the study of the local environment.
This is an action-based pedagogy aimed at teaching by engaging, by involving in action.
observation, investigation, classification, by creating objects, by producing. It is about
a pedagogy that will not reduce the student to the purely receptive role that he was too often assigned
reserved.
Breaking the veil that too often separates school knowledge from tangible reality, stoking the
curiosity, breaking the wall behind which the sensitivity of the child is locked, freeing the school from
this suffocating atmosphere of bossiness, avoiding killing forever the spontaneous qualities of
the student, such are the essential steps of modern pedagogy.

The administration should no longer suffer from any restrictive considerations in education.
He must therefore benefit from the master's total care in his class, precisely because of
the involvement of French at all levels of school education. Nothing will be overlooked

find ease in the various manifestations of everyday life, particularly in listening
from radio and television, in the use of posters, advertising panels,
newspapers, in distance exchanges (letters, telegrams, phone, e-mail, etc.).
The teaching of French must not only prepare the student to understand a text.

This utilitarian teaching will nevertheless allow for aesthetic pleasure: humor, the
poetic creation, tales, comic strips, crosswords, riddles, etc.
In short, the teaching of French must aim to give the child the necessary confidence in
its activities.
The native languages commonly used by children are different from French.

Teaching methods will draw on the advances of modern linguistics:
use of phonetics for pronunciation correction and progress in
reading and spelling;
structural approach to grammar with substitution exercises and
transformation;
taking into account cultural habits in oral communication activities and

It is through the introductory course that the child makes contact with the school; on one hand, he enters into
a human and social environment completely different from his family life; on the other hand, he enters into
a system of ideas, of words that are foreign to it.
Under these conditions, the first educational problem is an adaptation problem.
This adaptation will depend on the first impression: depending on whether the first days
whether positively or negatively, the child may be lost or
won.
That is why the atmosphere of a beginner's class is of paramount importance. It would be

properly speaking.
Thus, the student will arrive at C.E. with modest knowledge but with means.
important, more accurate reflexes, good habits.
Several aspects of teaching French will be addressed.
Writing
Writing is raised to the rank of a key discipline in our education. Accessing writing is
being able to communicate with others is entrusting a message to the care of a piece of paper
through the reproduction of letters. The correct tracing of letters is acquired through a lengthy learning process.
often wise, a learning subject to a rigorous technique: exercises
preparatory (body scheme) - the elements of graphics.
It is not so much about achieving perfect writing as it is about achieving readable writing. The goal is
to write quickly and legibly.
The teacher will accept both straight writing and slanted writing. He will avoid imposing on the
left-handed students writing with their right hand.
Writing well requires five conditions:
a good posture.
a table suitable for the student's size.
a good tool.
a good grip of the tool.
a good position of the notebook.
The recitation
The main purposes of recitation are:
the enrichment of means of expression;
the memorization of literary texts or poems from the oral tradition brings a
effective contribution to mastering the language. Recitation is an excellent exercise
individual of pronunciation, diction, comprehension and interpretation;
the initiation to aesthetics.
Effectiveness depends on several conditions. First of all, accuracy: that memorization is
strict; then the solidity: that this memorization be definitive, which requires a lot of
10
repetitions, a continuous control of what has been acquired, adaptation to each level in difficulty and in
volume; finally the essential condition is the literary value of the texts. The student will be associated with
the search for poetic texts to create the poetry notebook for the class and to say the
poem that he will have created during the writing expression session.
Reading
One of the main objectives of primary school is to prepare the child for reading.
the adult. What is reading? It is grasping meaning through the eyes, that is to say, discovering, organizing.
and interpret the meaning of what is written.
Learning to read is a complex process of analysis and synthesis whose activities must
to be focused on the identification and understanding of what is subject to reading, namely
the written signs.
Regarding reading, the official instructions from the twenties still remain
of news:
In the hierarchy of subjects that are the focus of our primary education, the
Lecture is undoubtedly the one that must take first place," say the I.O. of 1923.
while adding:
The child cannot learn anything if he does not know how to read; he learns nothing willingly if he does not
does not know how to read easily... He needs to be given the habit of reading effortlessly as soon as possible...
So, as confirmed by the I.O. of 1928:
The goal is to lead everyone, from school and for their entire life, to want to read,
to know how to read, to love reading.
Written expression
Just as there are two reasons to read: one to inform oneself, the other to entertain oneself, it
there are two reasons to write: out of necessity or for pleasure.
Hence two kinds of writings: professional writings and literary writings. On one hand, some
guidelines, letters, articles; on the other hand, tales, poems, fictions.
In CE1 and up to CM2, the child should be introduced to these two aspects of written expression.
In both cases, the writing is characterized by a strong organization at multiple levels:
at the level of the phrase, in the order and choice of words;
regarding the sequence of sentences and various arrangements: how to do it
a portrait, how to describe a landscape, how to tell a story (literary aspect)
but also how to argue for and against, how to demonstrate the
functioning of a device, how to articulate the elements of a regulation (side
professional).
Finally, writings, whether literary or professional, all present themselves according to a
disposition that characterizes them and to which the students will be made aware: disposition of a
poem in verses and stanzas, arrangement of a tale in chapters, but also arrangement of a
letter, layout of a newspaper page with its titles and columns.
11
Learning these two varieties of writing develops different but complementary qualities.
comments:
Spelling
The spelling of French is complex and difficult. The particularities (shampoo), the letters
mutes (count, finger, time), the exceptions (strollers), the complicated rules (he told me about it)
given a lot) are very numerous.
The child who leaves primary school cannot absolutely master its functioning.
on the contrary, he must have acquired/spelling concern, that is to say, be accustomed to asking himself,
At the moment of writing, the appropriate questions:
How is the word written?
How is the agreement made?
He will not hesitate to systematically consult the dictionary and the grammar guide; he will have
take care to reread with a critical eye and pay attention to punctuation.
To succeed in writing without mistakes, it is necessary to engage a whole series of acquired skills.
in the various fields of French and on the occasion of other teachings: in language (the
exact distinction of sounds even new); in reading (the knowledge of various
graphies of a sound); in grammar (the syntactic rules); in vocabulary (the formation of
words). .
Therefore, the objectives must be modest:
a) master the main spellings of a sound depending on the context, which requires listening
correct and a good pronunciation;
b) to know the main grammatical agreements;
c) getting accustomed to consulting the dictionary, to remembering the classifications by word families,
analogies, homonyms, homophonies, antonyms, etc.
d) acquire the habit of proofreading and checking.
The dictation texts or other exercises should be well adapted to the class level.
After the self-correction, the teacher will make an effort to carefully review all the mistakes.
highlighted and corrected by the student and possibly point out those that he will have
forgotten. The teacher will especially avoid simply crossing out all the text and mentioning zero.
You are useless. This way of appreciating the student's work can only discourage them.
In mathematics, in science, a student who only finds the early questions, has
a few points. It is not zero. Why is this the grade, in dictation, of a student who, after three,
four lines without errors, make several mistakes at the end of the work?
By giving points for each correctly written line (instead of subtracting for mistakes) we
encourage the student to make efforts.
Grammar
Develop the ability to communicate and express oneself with ease in all children,
clarity and correctness, orally and in writing in today's language, this is the main objective
assigned.
to the teaching of French and, consequently, to that of grammar.
Thus, grammar is not an end in itself.
It is a means for expression. It is one of the paths that allow, after
to have dominated the necessary constraint of language, to achieve greater freedom
of expression.
12
Our programs focus on language handling exercises rather than on rules.
and definitions, retain a structural approach to grammar. The fundamental unit is
the sentence and not the word. It is through the notion of a sentence that we will begin and it is within
this unit will perform all the operations.
These linguistic manipulations must reflect an intuitive understanding of
the organization of the sentence and its main elements, as well as basic rules of
functioning of the language, without the need for these concepts or rules to already be
formalized, named or stated (implicit grammar).
Conjugation
The verb being the pillar of the sentence, it is more than necessary to thoroughly understand the transformations.
changes that it undergoes depending on the time it is used, the person, and the mode. Knowing these
Variations also allow for acquiring correct spelling.
It is through imitation, at the cost of a series of patient successive adjustments, that the master will succeed in
giving children the habit of producing correct sounds and respecting rhythm and
intonation. Language uses communication tools such as words and expressions.
It is important for students to learn through everyday life situations
vocabulary and the linguistic structures necessary to express oneself. The learning of a
language is made in a linguistic bath with the freedom to express what one thinks,
feel, love, disgust, etc. and spontaneously, with the words and expressions that we
dispose. The language should not be preconceived and imposed with standards to be respected. The
the best method is to put students in real-life situations related to their
daily life and let them speak. The teacher will intervene in case of blockage, to correct
certain errors or to restart the dialogue. He must pay as much attention as possible to
13
the free expression of children. Spontaneity must under no circumstances and for no reason be
inhibited in the student and take away the desire to speak. Pronunciation errors will be corrected.

Elementary courses
Writing
Starting from CE, we can adopt the following method that follows a progressive order. The
Grouping of letters is established not by alphabetical order but by analogy of shapes.
For the lowercase letters:
premier groupe : i, u, n, m, r, e, v, w ;
second group: 0, a, c, s, x, t, d, p, q;
third group: l, b, h, k, j, g, y, z, f.
After studying lowercase letters, we begin the study of uppercase letters, which will continue in elementary school.
The order proposed below groups the letters that have a certain analogy of shapes:
first group: Y, P, B, R, F;
second group: S, L, J, H, K;
third group: T, A, N, M, Z.

It is these simulated communication situations that will form the backbone of the lessons.
of elocution during which the themes and acts of language will be articulated.
It is worth noting that there is an essential difference with the learning of the early years: it
it is no longer about teaching a spontaneous spoken French made up of trivial and familiar expressions
corresponding to a child's natural interactions with their family and peers; it is about
to introduce students to the language of complex, professional oral communication,
media-focused, in a word monitored.
This implies knowledge of the appropriate polite formulas, the search for turns of phrase.
and precise terms, a quality of expression that depends on the interlocutors and the

circumstances, quality achieved through mastery of language registers: what is said or not said
say it depending on the place, the moment, the people present.
This teaching based on motivations will be linked to the presentation of lived situations.

told) and to write after motivation.
The child will be introduced to:
respond to a questionnaire;
contribute to the realization of a collective project: school newspaper, making
posters, etc... ;
write a poem;
to tell a story in comic strips.
6. Spelling
Pedagogical and didactic comments
In CE and CM, the child must acquire the correct writing of common terms. They must learn
also to modify this writing according to the usage of the word in the sentence. For that, it
must know and then explain a certain number of rules: rules studied in grammar,
in conjugation or during grammar spelling sessions. ,
In order to address the orthographic complexity of French, one can proceed during the
spelling lessons on the systematic study of the phoneme and its representations, of the phoneme and the
grammatical categories, phonemes and lexical functioning, homonyms.

2. Vocabulary
Educational and didactic comments
In the Middle Course, the programs are focused on 2 main axes:
1) The semantic approach that focuses on the meaning of a word.
2°) The lexical approach that groups a large number of terms revolving around a theme.
The vocabulary aims for the learning and handling of lexical structures according to
language registers involved in employment situations.
Thus, everything in the life of a class provides material for vocabulary acquisition, and it will be necessary that
the attention of the teacher and the students should always be alert regarding words as well as in terms of
concerning their meaning and their use only in relation to their form.
However, the essential thing is not to learn a lot every day or every week.
words, but to provide the various meanings of each in order to avoid serious misunderstandings.
It is important to use this word immediately in simple sentences, to provide
common expressions that contain it, with the precise meaning of each, not to make a copy of one
word on "the vocabulary notebook" wrapped in its text and illuminated by the situation.
The word does not exist by itself; it is only a provisional unit; it has meaning only through the
context... The sentence is the verbal unit that responds to thought... Language would have no
meaning if it were only a mosaic of words.
But we must recognize the necessity of lessons and vocabulary exercises whose purpose is
the improvement of oral and written expression and the importance of context for understanding the
meaning of the words used.
Some lessons will be compared to the study of the dictionary: how words are classified there,
what information is provided and how it is organized.
By comparing various dictionaries, we will look for examples showing that the language is evolving.
words appear (neologisms and borrowings) and others disappear. Some terms
techniques are present or absent depending on the objective.
The master will notice and point out that some commonly used words (banco, secco,
niébé) are not listed in many dictionaries.

Pedagogical and didactic comments
In the middle course, the communication problem remains predominant. Thus it is appropriate:
to multiply expressive activities;
to raise awareness of the language through creative exercises and
of impregnation;
to have manipulated, observed, analyzed the syntactic and lexical structures;
to gradually lead students from an implicit grammar to an explicit grammar
explicit.
Therefore, the student must:
expresses itself;
immerses itself in the elaborate language of the surrounding environment;

VI. History
A. General Objectives
The teaching of history aims at the knowledge of humanity's past, the formation of
citizens and responsible men.
The young African states, with artificial borders inherited from colonization, have concerns
specific occupations including that of their national unity. The mosaic of peoples that they
constituent must merge into a national entity, that is to say having the feeling of belonging to
a shared geographical space and a common destiny community.
The teaching of history must in our countries give birth to this feeling and strengthen it.
Understanding the present to build the future requires knowledge of human history, and of
the space inhabited by men. Memory is modern; active and creative, it is the
best tool for future action.
Shared between the demands of the immediate environment and the echo of the turmoil of current events, the child has
need references. It is history and geography that must provide them to him, and to
to lead, through measured transitions, to an organized understanding of the world and society.
For this, this teaching gives him, in small number, clear and precise knowledge.
on local, regional, and national history related to local geography and that of Niger.
The knowledge of our historical heritage, the assimilation of political and cultural heritage
from Niger, the discovery of the riches of our people and our country is essential to the
formation of the Nigerien citizen.
In both CE and CM, the history and geography lessons will be based on observation.
directly from the center, say the programs.
In history, we proposed some tools and representations that will help the child to
slowly locating itself in time. In geography, it will have to be taught to place itself in its
immediate environment by teaching him to know it to love it, to protect it and to
to save, because it is a matter of his own survival, to distinguish it from other environments by
comparison through the study and observation of genuine documents (photos, plans, maps,
statistical curves).

VII. Civic and Moral Education
A. General objectives
Civic and moral education integrates all aspects of life in the classroom, at home, in school,
in the street.
She assumes an attitude in the master that is consistent with the ideas he teaches. He takes advantage of this.
daily behaviors with a focus on education, encourages cooperative living, invites to
to practice equality of rights and to participate in national and international campaigns
humanitarian organizations.
Educating the citizen is neither scrutinizing the conscience nor governing the will; it is enlightening them.
freedom so that she can find her own paths. Civic and moral education does not take
never the form of indoctrination or exhortation; it invites responsibility, it is
always an education for freedom.
Morale
The formation of good habits is the ultimate goal of moral education.
Moral education ensures that the child behaves in accordance with the standards of the
society in which he lives. It emphasizes mutual understanding and solidarity for
to ensure prosperity and progress. It enlightens its reason and shapes its conscience. But
Knowing good is not enough; one must practice it. Therefore, after instructing the child on
his homework, make him complete it.
Civic education
Civic education only intervenes at the middle school level. Complementary to those of
morality, civic education programs will lead to the formation of a citizen
responsible, aware of his rights and duties towards the State, of his obligations towards the
society and the homeland.
Civic education shapes patriotic awareness. It highlights the duties and the
citizens' obligations, conveys the necessity of an established order, the respect of
hierarchy and the common good and obedience to the laws.
Introducing children to civic life means:
to provide them with basic but sufficient documentation on the organization
administrative and political, current legislation, the functioning of public services and
socio-professional organizations of the country;
to develop in them a sense of the public interest;
to awaken in them the feeling of national unity.
B. Educational and Didactic Orientations
Morale
The teaching of morals consists of:
to instill good habits in CI/CP,
strengthen these good habits and make known the individual and social virtues to the CE,
guide students towards understanding and reasoned practice of the main virtues
individuals and social at the CM.
The moral lesson, daily and occasional at the CI-CP, will be the subject of teaching.
systematic in the CE and CM.

IX. Physical and Sports Education
Playful activities in primary school children should be utilized in such a way that
to develop in him the taste for physical and sports activities.
Thus, the teacher must offer his students engaging games that are a powerful means
educational, because they contribute to the most harmonious and complete development possible
the physical, individual, and moral capacities of the child.
The organization of these physical and sports activities includes a schedule that each
The teacher must respect. He will conduct his teaching by taking into account the imperative of the
objectives assigned to each level. It will also take into account the environment, the climate, the
sports facilities, equipment and exams in its programming.
The establishment of this scheduling leads to:
first define the educational objectives by determining the levels to be achieved in
function of the duration of learning;
then choose the most suitable means and plan the evaluation methods.
Six major families of activities (athletic games, attack-defense, team games, dance,
gymnastic activities, orientation activities) are chosen to help the teacher to operate
wise choice. These activities are means to achieve the objectives
defines.
Athletic games
Athletic games contribute to the organic and foundational development of the child through a
functional growth of the respiratory and circulatory apparatus and better resistance
to fatigue.
The multiple situations of jumps (height, length, rebound), of light throws,
racing (speed, endurance, obstacles...), allow the child a general improvement of their
motor skills, an education of different perceptions, a recognition of sensations in the
movement, a better efficiency in the gesture. It is not therefore truly
not athletics but spontaneous activities of the child.
2. Attack-defense
Attack and defense game situations allow for channeling a child's aggression.
in order to lead him to:
learning to respect the rules
to accept defeat but also to put victory into perspective;
adjust one's behaviors based on the actions and reactions of opponents;
to be able to master oneself as well;
better understand one's possibilities but also one's limits;
to know but also to respect the other.
Attack and defense games (Ianga, wrestling...) can enrich the child's behavior.
as well in terms of motor, cognitive, and socio-emotional aspects.
3. Team games
These are activities and games about cooperation and opposition.
58
They place the child in a situation of confrontation according to rules: team games with or
without a ball.
They are characterized by:
the presence of opponents and partners acting simultaneously and
contradictorily in situations;
the presence of targets that the child, alone or with their team, must retain or
to appropriate.
They primarily solicit in children:
physical abilities such as endurance, stamina, speed,
coordination;
the knowledge of game rules and strategies;
social conditions (cooperation, opposition).
4. Dance
Dance solicits and develops:
the rhythm, coordination, flexibility;
the blossoming of possibilities for expression and creation;
sensitivity by organizing auditory and visual perceptions over time.
In terms of socialization, traditional dances allow access to culture.
middle pores.
It will be about dancing from spontaneous forms to more elaborate forms with
musical supports (drums, chants, modern music...).
5. Gymnastic activities
They place the child in unusual motor situations.
where locomotion is primarily ensured by the upper limbs and where situations
Aerial and overturned are common, which implies a reorganization.
permanent information and balancing;
which follow one another, requiring a choice of ordered and rhythmic actions;
who are seen and judged, which introduces an aesthetic concern.
They may require handling objects or devices.
They require the child to have coordination, anticipation, mastery, and quality of
realization, the development of the adaptive function.
Three levels can be distinguished:
no challenge to the vertical balance, with dominant support from the members
inferiors;
the goals of questioning the vertical balance, with a better distribution of
support actions between upper and lower members;
integration of the inverted vertical with a predominance of support from the limbs
superiors.
They train the child to:
to express oneself: through the diversity of figures in each workshop and the possible actions
for each figure;
finding one's balance: in various positions by dissociating and combining supports
pedestrian and manual;
coordinate actions by controlling the pace of execution and the sequence;
see and judge, whether by performing with others in a sequence, individually or collectively,
either by evaluating the work presented by others.
6. Orientation activities:
These are activities of adaptation to the physical, natural, or built environment.
59
They place the child in a situation of active exploration of a more or less
unusual.
They use a three-level space:
the confined familiar space (the courtyard);
the familiar space expanded (the school, the public garden, the stadium, the neighborhood, the village...)
the unknown space (the open nature).
They implement related means:
to the representation of space: narrative, plan, map, model;
to the forms of guidance, from the simplest here gesture, oral, written, to the most
refined: message, reference point choice, compass.
They develop in the child motor behaviors characterized by engagement.
physical content, by the need to see, to look, to reflect, to compare, to decide,
through the discovery of the unknown and the pleasure of finding.
C. Content by level
The content is organized by sub-cycle, centered around the objectives and means.
The hourly volume is 2 hours per week for all levels.
The evaluation of individual and collective progress must be done using reference grids and
thanks to the creation of a file serving as a report, accompanying the student throughout their schooling.
Based on the observation of his students, the teacher must periodically assess his performance.
