Enseignement catholique de Seine et Marne

What Enseignement catholique de Seine et Marne does

Enseignement catholique de Seine et Marne (DDEC 77) is the diocesan direction for Catholic education of the Diocese of Meaux, operating as a non-profit authority headquartered at 2 Rue Georges Lugol, Meaux, France. It coordinates a network of 65 Catholic educational establishments across Seine-et-Marne — 25 schools, 17 colleges, 12 lycées, 5 higher-education institutions, and 6 UFA apprentice-training centers — delivering education from maternelle (nursery) through post-baccalauréat under contract with the French State via the Académie de Créteil. The direction itself is a small coordinating body of 7 employees that runs shared services including the Service d'Accueil et d'Aide au Recrutement (SAAR) for teacher recruitment, a psychology service staffed by 4 clinicians across geographic sectors, pastoral coordination, and inclusive-education support (ULIS, RASED).

Its business model is not commercial but contractual: as a state-contracted private education network under the Enseignement Catholique national framework, the organization operates a regulated public-service model in which individual establishments receive per-pupil state funding routed through OGEC management bodies, while DDEC 77's own budget funds diocesan-level coordination, recruitment, strategic planning, and oversight. Its principal customer segments are families/students seeking Catholic education, school heads (Chefs d'Établissement), and prospective teachers. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via diocesan information sessions, ddec77.org, social media channels (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn), and a partnership with the national jedeviensenseignant.fr platform. Governance is ecclesiastical: Bishop Jean Yves Nahmias appoints the Directeur diocésain (Denis Chazeaud), and congregational tutelles (Frères des Écoles Chrétiennes, Apprentis d'Auteuil, Sœurs Saint-Joseph de Cluny, Maristes) maintain supervisory roles over certain schools. In September 2023 the direction launched its six-year strategic plan, Horizon 2030 'Unis pour l'éducation, ambitieux pour la paix,' developed through a participatory process engaging more than 300 stakeholders and a flagship new establishment, Saint-Colomban in Serris (Marne-la-Vallée).
