This is what promises Jean-Michel Blanquer for the start of the school year, set for November 2.

“The trade unions […] asked me for a clear and precise framework so as not to leave any teacher in the dark.

This framework, we will build it together for the day of the start of the school year, but also in the long term, in the sense of strengthening the values ​​of the Republic ”, assures the Minister of Education in an interview with the Journal du dimanche.

a second phase, with the pupils, will be dedicated to the reaffirmation of the “principles of the school and of the Republic”;

and a third stage will bring together, in the courtyard, pupils, teachers and “school partners” for a minute of silence and the reading of the “Letter to teachers” by Jean Jaurès.

The minister also assured that "all the problems related to secularism and violence" should in the future be reported and expressed the wish that the death of Samuel Paty allows "a collective awareness".
