ZEP Info
- ZEP
- The term ZEP refers to schools in deprived, usually urban, settings which are earmarked for special state support. The decision to categorize a school as a ZEP lies with the académie which can release additional funding to finance special-needs education. There is usually a high percentage of pupils with both learning difficulties and behavioural problems in attendance. Special educational needs include psychological support, speech therapy, psychomotor skills, and the additional work this represents for staff is remunerated.
