Kadekol, la webradio de l'Institut Français de l'Éducation

Kadekol is an education-focused French radio feed with a broad institutional imagination. It treats school as more than curriculum. It is also a public service, a social sorting mechanism, a place of care, a site of conflict, and sometimes a fragile route back into ordinary life. The pacing is measured. Guests are usually given enough time to build an argument, and the programs often return to the same idea from several angles so that complex issues remain legible. Ça manque pas d’R leans toward research and debate. Its episodes place education beside sociology, migration history, public funding, institutions, and French school policy. A discussion of Abdelmalek Sayad, for instance, does not merely present him as a thinker of immigration; it follows his attention to exile, return, colonial history, and the school as a place where immigration becomes visible. A conversation about private education traces legislation, public financing, selective pressure, and the growth of private higher education. Other strands are closer to the ground. Le Micro est dans la Classe listens inside schools, with students and adults describing what support, anxiety, care, and re-schooling feel like in practice. The episode on a micro-college is especially concrete, moving through dropout, confidence, evaluation, family work, and the effort to make school meaningful again. The hospital-school episode shows education braided with medical care, technical support, and daily adaptation. The École Dehors series widens the classroom into the city, using walks, observation, biodiversity, social data, and student perception as learning material. Kadekol’s value lies in this movement between scales. It can hold law, research, testimony, and classroom detail in the same frame. It is best for listeners who want education understood slowly, through institutions and lived experience rather than slogans.
