* Since the first half of July, volunteer members of "Familles de France" have been recording the prices of back-to-school items in their respective cities and in each distribution circuit, following a predefined standard list. This standard list consists of 45 school references divided as follows: - 17 paper or filing supplies (notebooks, binders, …) - 25 non-paper supplies (pencil case equipment, backpack, calculator, …) - 3 sports items (a tracksuit, a pair of sports shoes, two pairs of socks)
For more information on the methodology, please refer to the original report.
