Little by little, the idea is gaining ground.
“92 establishments have applied”
to experiment with wearing a uniform, announced the new resident of rue de Grenelle, Nicole Belloubet, on France 2. The city of Béziers is the first to test the system this Monday, February 26 2024, however the former Minister of Justice was keen to emphasize that other municipalities were participating in the adventure.
“The
Mayor of Béziers
likes media exposure,” she scoffed.
Of which act.”
What is the objective of this experiment?
For the Minister of National Education, it is a question of
“giving new impetus to this approach”
.
“What we would like to see is whether or not this can calm the school climate.”
Nicole Belloubet emphasizes that it is also
“one of the means”
to fight against school bullying which affects
“one student per class”
.
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”
.
On the famous
“shock of knowledge”
dear to Gabriel Attal, Nicole Belloubet specified that the government planned to
“support those who have the most difficulties in small groups”
.
These groups formed within classes would number around
“15 students”
for French and mathematics lessons.
A method which would require the recruitment of 2,300 additional teachers, according to her.
An action that the new minister intends to be long-term, whereas the passage of her three predecessors on rue de Grenelle, Pap Ndiaye, Gabriel Attal and Amélie Oudea-Castéra, was rather ephemeral.
In the event of a reshuffle,
“I’m not going anywhere
,” insisted Nicole Belloubet.
