According to the man at the head of the school, these conclusions were brought to him by a letter received from the Ministry of National Education.
Contacted on this subject, the entourage of Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra was not immediately reachable.
“The text specifies that it would be necessary to go back well before the current management so that there could be facts, so these are old facts,” assured Frédéric Gautier.

He claims to have recorded only one case of abuse since taking office at Stanislas.
“This is the case of a volunteer who intervenes in the context of religious instruction, who made comments on homosexuality and abortion that were not acceptable.
(…) This person was encountered, sanctioned, left, he will never set foot in the establishment again,” Frédéric Gautier also declared.
A “desired” administrative investigation
According to Frédéric Gautier, the investigation which targeted his establishment and which resulted in the report of the General Inspectorate of National Education was not “imposed” on him.
“We wanted it
(in agreement with the Minister of National Education at the time Pap Ndiaye, editor’s note)
,” supported Frédéric Gautier.
“This investigation took place over two months with four inspectors who were in the establishment,” he added.

The Stanislas school has been in turmoil since Mediapart revealed that the Minister of National Education Amélie Oudéa-Castéra was sending her children there.
Subsequently, “AOC” defended its choice on the pretext of “packages of hours not replaced” among the public.
A Parcoursup “bypass” system?
This Sunday, Mediapart also reveals that a system of “circumvention” of the Parcoursup rules would have been put in place at Stanislas, promoting the bridge between the best final year students at “Stan” and the preparatory classes for the grandes écoles of the same establishment. .
A process from which one of the minister's children would have benefited.
Questioned on this subject in particular on BFMTV this Sunday morning, the director of Stanislas Frédéric Gautier refuted these accusations, without specifically mentioning the case of Amélie Oudéa-Castéra's son.
“Every year we have 80-85 students who want to stay with us and whose file we know.
They present their file to us and ask us for our opinion on their plan to stay with us,” explained Frédéric Gautier.
According to him, a “favorable or not” opinion was then given and the students then follow the classic Parcoursup procedure.
“They decide the choice themselves,” he assured, affirming that a student wishing to stay at Stanislas could also register another wish in another establishment.
