In Paris, 134 classes will close at the start of the 2024 school year. “It’s going to be a disaster’, says one mother.
The school map for the September school year provides for 173 class closures for 39 openings in primary education. The motto of the French Republic is displayed in capital letters on the colorful facade of the Plaine-Grands-Champs public nursery school, in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. ‘School in danger, flash, sign’ is another triptych plastered on the front door.
