Le Chesnoy is the current name of a traditional training center for general and technological agriculture (LEGTA, Lycée d'Enseignement Général et Technologique Agricole ) in and around Montargis ( Loiret department ) in the central French region.
history
In 1889 the École Pratique d'Agriculture du Chesnoy was founded in Montargis as a typical educational institution of 19th century France . It is thus rooted in Napoleon Bonaparte's understanding of education , as it was anchored in law on the 11th Floréal of the year X (May 1st, 1802) in order to produce “the elite of the nation”. According to his statement, the Lycee, along with the Civil Code and the Legion of Honor, is one of the “masses de granit” (often translated as “the three granite blocks”) on which the state rests. When it was founded , the Ècole d'agriculture du Chesnoy followed this tradition of the most important central educational institutions because the first Lycée was built in the Loiret department, namely in Pothier , Orléans, as early as 1803.
The aim is to lead to a kind of bachelor's degree, the bachelor's degree , as the first academic degree - in three disciplines: Baccalauréat professionnel agroéquipement (agricultural production), baccalauréat scientifique (agricultural science) and baccalauréat technologique agricole (agricultural technology). In addition, two two-year training courses for Brevet de technicien supérieur (BTS), agricultural equipment and management of the farm (business management focus) are offered, as well as - unique for comparable schools - training for qualification at a veterinary university and an agricultural engineering school .
At the beginning of the 20th century, Montargis became the model of a Franco-Chinese exchange program for several hundred young Chinese intellectuals, many of whom rose to the elite of China before and after the Chinese communist revolution. The starting point for this was the philanthropist, agronomist and biologist Li Yuying , who was the first exchange student to come to France from imperial China and who was preparing in Montargis for his studies at the Sorbonne University in Paris . For him, the French education system at one of the oldest agricultural schools in the country became a model for the Movement Travail-Études he founded in 1912 . In addition to industrial employment, the young intellectuals received high-quality, sometimes scientific, training. For them, this principle was not only a pragmatic way of financing their training and their stay, but also helped them quickly gain an insight into western production methods in agriculture and industry and to adapt the French educational methods.
During this time, the close interlinking of the universities, the two elite schools and the centrally controlled lycees in France became a guarantee of constant innovations in genetics , applied agricultural sciences and steadily industrialized food production . Until today, at the beginning of the 21st century, the long tradition and the integrated training of agricultural technology has been promoting new technologies again and again, as can be seen from the early emerging solar technology, especially in rural France. As a result of the French modernization legislation of 1962 and the intended equality with national education and training policy, all agricultural educational institutions were subordinated to the Ministry of Agriculture . This led to the fact that in the region of Montargis several agricultural educational institutions were gradually brought together under the term Le Chesnoy .
