description

One often thinks that the long period of summer holidays has negative effects on the knowledge of pupils. A study undertaken in a junior secondary school in Côte d'Or (France) brings more optimistic results. Indeed, the sampled students are found on average not only to retain their knowledge, but also sometimes, and more frequently when they come from economicly richer backgrounds, to even improve their scores between June and September, and this all the more when they have studied during the period.
