This work presents the official curriculum framework for French elementary education. Organized around the *programmes officiels*, it sets out the knowledge, skills, learning objectives, and assessment priorities expected of pupils during the elementary years. The volume is intended for educators, school administrators, curriculum planners, and families seeking an authoritative view of national expectations for teaching and learning. Its emphasis is on clarifying what children are meant to learn, how subjects and competencies are structured, and how official educational policy is translated into classroom practice. As a reference publication from the Centre national de documentation pédagogique, it also serves as a historical snapshot of early-2000s French elementary schooling and the priorities embedded in its national curriculum.
