A new zoning system for studying and managing the French educational system, analyzing student flows and territorial disparities.
[...] Thus of students are enrolled in their area of residence for the Colleges zoning and 89.8% for the Paths zoning. Half of the Colleges areas have stability rates above 87.9% and half of the Paths areas have stability rates above 84.2%. The slightly better stability of the Colleges zoning is due to the fact that the domicile-enrollment flows of college students naturally have more inertia than those of high school students - particularly in the vocational path where the choice of specialties can lead students to be enrolled in municipalities distant from their home.

[...] This publication was created with the objective of proposing a reference cartographic work for the leaders and pilots of the academic region, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the territories, localizing the territories at stake by producing cartographic analyses at this scale. We give below two examples of such issues, which led to the use of zoning in education areas. A first challenge is to highlight the socio-economic context disparities between territories. These disparities indeed strongly contribute toinequalities in territorial results and school paths. [...]
[...] The level of fineness of a zonage varies according to the problem to be analyzed. The indicators calculated on the zones are used to report on the context, results, and functioning of the educational system according to the territories. These disparities are the subject of representations and graphical or cartographic analyses, such as in the publication Geography of the School (at the regional, academic, or departmental level, depending on the indicator studied. In the context of scientific publications, such as in the journal Education & formations, zoning is also used in the context of statistical models that account for the effects of a student's territory of belonging on their academic results and career path (Miconnet, 2016; Murat, 2021a).

[...] They are lower in the mining basin, as well as in the rural areas to the east and west of the region. Geographical remoteness constitutes another dimension with a high stake: the remoteness of educational institutions, first of all, which restricts the possibilities of orientation for students; and more broadly the remoteness of educational resources, which also include cultural and sports facilities (media library, theater, gymnasium). For each middle and high school, the publication Geography of School in Hauts-de-France uses the distance index calculated by the DEPP (Touahir and Maugis, 2021; Dauphant, 2023a; Dauphant, 2023b).
