Nicole Belloubet is the new Minister of National Education. The city of Béziers is the first to test the system this Monday, February 26 2024.

The objective of this experiment is to calm the school climate, she says. The minister has not always been in favor of this measure. In 2016, she signed an article in which she was ironic about this measure and mocked “the jokes about the restoration of authority or the wearing of the blouse” These groups formed within classes would number around “15 students” for French and mathematics lessons, according to her.
