Twenty-one will be dedicated to the "general teachings": French, mathematics, history-geography and civic education, experimental sciences, physical education and sportswoman, and languages live 1 and 2, of which the generalization since the second is a novelty.

To it two modules of three hours will be added (either six weekly hours) say of "exploration and deepening", in order to allow the pupils to vary their teachings, to open up on unknown domains or to go farther in a specialty.

These options will be dug up in four big families of matters:  humanities (French literature, Latin, Greek, language lives 3, arts...), sciences (mathematics, sciences of life and the earth, data processing and numeric society), sciences of the society (economics and social, management, history and geography) and technologies (among others, initiation to the engineer's sciences, to the medico-social sciences, techniques of shop, design...).

Last novelty, the institution of three hours of "accompaniment personalized", that will be able to be translated, according to the pupil's need, by the school support, of the advice of orientation or the interdisciplinary work.

There are not any threats on the technological sets, that succeed very well" and this new "organization of the high school doesn't imply a reform of the final exam", is defended itself Xavier Darcos. Otherwise, this reform doesn't hide "a logic accountant" or "of savings", it has hammered, reaffirming that no of the 13.500 deletions of stations foreseen in 2009 in the national education "will concern the high school."

This reform, "that brings the more and not of the less", respect the "points of convergence on the objectives" signed in June and last July with the unions, put forward M. Darcos, estimating that these measures will entail for the teachers a "moral and material" revalorization, notably of the "indemnities bound to the follow-up."

For the hour, the details of this reform of the second class - notably the hourly distribution of the general teachings - must be discussed again, at the latest until Christmas, in "dialogue" with the unions of teachers, the high school students and the chiefs of establishments, specified the minister.

However, he/it has conceded, it will be necessary to establish, once the reform entirely momentum, "of the programs more adapted." AP

The pep ready to reduce the production to sustain oil

The continuous decrease of the prices of the barrel of oil - fallen Thursday October 9 to 86,59 dollars, in New York, and to 82,66 dollars, in London - woke up the old concerns of the organization of the countries exporters of oil (OPEC), very heedful on the courses since the oil counter-shock of the years 1985-2000.

Without waiting for the summit foreseen December 17 in Oran (Algeria), his/her/its twelve members decided to meet November 18 in the seat of the cartel, in Vienna. They will debate the financial crisis, the world economic situation and his/her/its impact on the market", announced the general secretariat of the organization. In clear, of a possible decrease of the production, that would avoid that the strong fold of the demand of raw in the industrialized countries (United States, Europe, Japan) doesn't accentuate the fall of the prices. The announcement of the extraordinary meeting didn't prevent their receding:  the barrel of Brent fell to 79 dollars, Friday morning, in Asia.

Of the members of the OPEC as Iran and Venezuela, whose political stability depends on the public subsidies financed by the oil returns, asked insistently for this summit. Besides the receding of the prices of the black gold, the producers face "the decrease of the value of the investments because of the world financial crisis", indicated to the AFP the president of the Libyan national Company of oil (NOC) and minister of oil. If the prices remain around 80 dollars, add Choker Ghana, "we consider reducing our production seriously and we call the other members of the OPEC, as the producers out OPEC (Russia, Norway, Mexico...), to reduce their production to protect their interests."

The financial storm risks to affect the profitability of the exploration-production projects, whose costs exploded these last years because of the enhancement of the raw materials (steel...), of the shortage of facilities and the technical difficulties (offshore deep, bituminous sands...). Besides, the crisis reduced the value of the financial assets of the countries producers, the petrol-monarchies of the Gulf being the more exposed.

Since his/her/its record of July 11 to 147,50 dollars, the price of the barrel lowered of near 50%. To what level can he/it stabilize? The speculative movements and the unceasing round-trips of the investors on the raw return the difficult answer. Lately, the bank business Merrill Lynch didn't exclude a floor of 50 dollars, his/her/its level of beginning 2005. This doorstep is unacceptable for all countries producers. Today, Iran and Venezuela defend a price floor of 100 dollars, while the president of the OPEC, the Algerian Khaki Hell, spoke lately of 80 dollars. toilet seats acrylic,designer toilet seats, resin toilet seats,seashell toilet seat,colored toilet seats,blue toilet seats,american standard toilet seats,green toilet seat ,child toilet seat,pink toilet seat,Decorative Toilet Seat,fish toilet seat,big john toilet seat,white toilet seats,black toilet seat,Polyresin toilet seats.

If the demand of products manufactured come from continuous Asia to lower, the recession in the OECD zone (Organization of cooperation and economic development) will have an impact on the production (notably Chinese) and therefore on the consumption of oil. The Center heart Global Energy Studies of London indicated, in September, that "the contribution of China to the growth of the demand seems about to vacillate." But the decrease of the oil prices would be also a good point for the resumption of the growth.
