Résumé En

French Guiana, on the septentrional coast of South America, and the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique, in the Antilles archipelago, are the three French overseas departments of the Americas (Départements Français d’Amérique, DFAs); they have been an integral part of France since 1946, and their political and administrative organization into departments and regions mirrors that of the rest of France. But their peculiar colonial history, their peripheral location, and their “exotic” ecosystems (the French Antilles are small islands in the middle of the Caribbean Sea and French Guiana is mostly covered by the Amazonian rainforest) characterize their “syncretic” education systems in a unique way.
