The French president is set to announce plans for a new school system. The new system would replace the current system, which was set up by the central state.
The announcement is expected to be made at the end of the year or early next year. It will be the first step towards the creation of a new national school system, to be called a ‘normal school’. The plan was leaked to the press on March 21, but has not yet been officially announced by the French government.
