It focuses on a device prompted to fight against school failure, called “Personalised Programme for School Success” (PPRE). It shows its propensity to above all reinforce the control on pedagogical practices through a mandatory formalization of those and to standardise the responses commonly held about schooling difficulties while engaging the entire hierarchical chain.
