1. IN SEARCH OF NEW TALENTS

7. EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT

8. THE INNOVATIVE SYSTEM

A. A newly opened computer school in Paris is called 42. Why 42? In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the science-fiction novel by Douglas Adams, which is a favourite of technology types in France, the number 42 is proclaimed the “Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything.” The school was founded by a telecom magnate who says the French education system is failing young people.

B. This year 800 students out of 20,000 applicants are going to be accepted to the new school. The process of selection is very intensive. The first stage is cognitive skill tests online. Those who pass them are invited to the month-long camp in Paris where the potential students are challenged with computer problems for 15 hours a day.

C. The only criterion for applying is to be between the ages of 18 and 30. You don't need money and you don't need a particular level of academic achievement. A third of the applicants don't even have high school diplomas. The school authorities are not looking for how much students know but how they think. One of the school's main goals is to unearth talents in poor areas where children don't fit into the traditional French academic education.

D. Today youth unemployment in France is at a 14-year high. At the same time, French companies cannot find enough IT specialists and thousands of young computer enthusiasts can't get training. That prompted 42's founder Xavier Niel to invest $90 million of his own money in the computer school.

E. Niel, the creator of France's third largest telecommunications company, explained the current situation and his position: “If you're the son of a blue collar worker, you're going to be a blue collar worker. Children of elites stay elite. We have 200,000 kids a year who drop out of the French school system and have no hope. They become a drag on society. We want to help these young people to take control of their lives.”

F. The new school's strategy is to make students learn by solving problems, not to teach them stuff because nobody knows the problems in the future. There are no lectures or traditional teachers, only group projects and “friendly organizers” wearing T-shirts. So, they are creating students able to learn by themselves. They will build their talents and learn from each other.

G. There's no social or national discrimination at this school, because getting in isn't based on one's education level or social status. It's a true melting pot. Even though 42 doesn't yet offer a recognized diploma, potential students feel sure it will prepare them to face the future better.

b) Read the text again and mark the statements True (T), False (F), Not Stated (NS).

1. A computer school in Paris was first founded in 1942.

A. One of computer schools in Paris is called 42. Why 42? In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the science-fiction novel by Douglas Adams, which is a favourite of technology types in France, the number 42 is proclaimed the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything". The school was founded by a telecom magnate who says the French education system is failing young people. As of 2023, 47 school campuses have been opened in 26 countries.
Одна из компьютерных школ в Париже называется 42. Почему 42? В научно-фантастическом романе Дугласа Адамса «Автостопом по Галактике», который является любимым произведением французских любителей технологий, число 42 провозглашено «Ответом на главный вопрос жизни, вселенной и всего такого». Школу основал телекоммуникационный магнат, который утверждает, что французская система образования не справляется с молодежью. По состоянию на 2023 год в 26 странах открыто 47 школьных кампусов.

B. Only 800 students out of all applicants are accepted to the school every year. The process of selection is very intensive. The first stage is cognitive skill tests online. Those who pass them are invited to the monthlong camp in Paris where the potential students are challenged with computer problems for 15 hours a day.
Ежегодно в школу принимают только 800 учеников из всех абитуриентов. Процесс отбора очень интенсивный. Первый этап — это тесты на когнитивные навыки онлайн. Те, кто их сдает, приглашаются в месячный лагерь в Париже, где потенциальные ученики решают компьютерные проблемы по 15 часов в день.

C. The only criterion for applying is to be between the ages of 18 and 30. You don't need money and you don't need a particular level of academic achievement. A third of the applicants don't even have high school diplo-mas. The school authorities are not looking for how much students know but how they think. One of the school's main goals is to unearth talents in poor areas where children don't fit into the traditional French academic education.
Единственным критерием для подачи заявления является возраст от 18 до 30 лет. Вам не нужны деньги и не нужен определенный уровень академических достижений. У трети абитуриентов даже нет дипломов об окончании средней школы. Руководство школы смотрит не на то, сколько знают ученики, а на то, как они думают. Одна из главных целей школы — раскрыть таланты в бедных районах, где дети не вписываются в традиционное французское академическое образование.

D. Today youth unemployment in France is at a high rate. At the same time, French companies cannot find enough IT specialists and thousands of young computer enthusiasts can't get training. That prompted 42's founder Xavier Niel to invest $90 million of his own money in the computer school.
Сегодня во Франции высокий уровень безработицы среди молодежи. В то же время французские компании не могут найти достаточно ИТ-специалистов, а тысячи молодых компьютерных энтузиастов не могут получить обучение. Это побудило основателя 42 Ксавье Ниеля вложить 90 миллионов долларов собственных денег в компьютерную школу.

E. Niel, the creator of France's third largest telecommunications company, explained the situation and his position, "If you're the son of a blue collar worker, you're going to be a blue collar worker. Children of elites stay elite. We have 200,000 kids a year who drop out of the French school system and have no hope. They become a drag on society. We want to help these young people to take control of their lives."
Ниль, создатель третьей по величине телекоммуникационной компании Франции, объяснил ситуацию и свою позицию: «Если вы сын рабочего, вы будете рабочим. Дети элиты остаются элитой. У нас 200 000 детей в год бросают французскую школьную систему и не имеют никакой надежды. Они становятся обузой для общества. Мы хотим помочь этим молодым людям взять под контроль свою жизнь».

F. The school's strategy is to make students learn by solving problems, not to teach them stuff because nobody knows the problems in the future. There are no lectures or traditional teachers, only group projects and "friendly organizers" wearing T-shirts. So, they are creating students able to learn by themselves. They build their talents and learn from each other. Students are trained through peer-to-peer pedagogy.
Стратегия школы заключается в том, чтобы заставить учеников учиться, решая проблемы, а не учить их чему-то, потому что никто не знает проблем в будущем. Нет лекций или традиционных учителей, только групповые проекты и «дружелюбные организаторы» в футболках. Таким образом, они создают учеников, способных учиться самостоятельно. Они развивают свои таланты и учатся друг у друга. Ученики обучаются по методу «равный-равному».

G. There's no social or national discrimination at this school, because getting in isn't based on one's education level or social status. It's a true melting pot. Even though 42 doesn't yet offer a recognized diploma, potential students feel sure it will prepare them to face the future better.
В этой школе нет социальной или национальной дискриминации, потому что поступление не зависит от уровня образования или социального статуса. Это настоящий плавильный котел. Несмотря на то, что 42-й колледж пока не выдает общепризнанный диплом, потенциальные студенты уверены, что он подготовит их к более успешному будущему.
