«There are many questions today in the field of education and they touch many aspects, and the first of these are certainly raised by the parents. These questions can lead them to have doubts about their ability to give their children an education, while they are their first teachers, although they are not the only ones. In the face of these doubts, different political attitudes are possible: replacing the parents with structures that take charge of the education, or trying to support them, by promoting skills. The Chantiers-Éducation (Construction Sites - Education) respond to this second determination». This is explained by Antoine Renard, President of the National Confederation of Catholic Family Associations (Cnafc), in his illustration of the goal of these groups of parents, who share their experiences and ideas, and make their educational contribution in a society that has an ever greater need of independently organized and creative lay people. A model of family support that has proven to be successful, to the point that two of the major French institutions have officially recognizes its importance. If, on the one hand, the Ministry of Education has signed a framework agreement with the Cnafc, legitimizing the excellent results obtained in preventing school failure, on the other hand the Ministry of Labor and Solidarity has for a long time already been counting on the participation of the “Chantiers” for initiatives such as Reaap (Networks of listening, support and guidance for parents), established and promoted by this same organization.
