The boss of LR Éric Ciotti wishes to experiment with wearing a uniform in the colleges of his Alpes-Maritimes department, he announced to the Journal du Dimanche in the wake of recent announcements by the Minister of Education.

While Gabriel Attal said he was in favor of such experiments at the end of July “if the educational community of an establishment” requests it, Mr. Ciotti pleads for him to “move quickly” and “generalize the return of the uniform”.

“We want to launch an experiment in this direction, in the colleges of the Alpes-Maritimes, in agreement with the president of the departmental council”, indicates the deputy of this department, affirming to have “discussed this candidacy with Gabriel Attal”.

Mr. Ciotti thus joins the request of the mayor (RN) of Perpignan Louis Aliot, who proposed Thursday the establishment of a uniform outfit in the schools of the city, and that of the mayor of Béziers Robert Ménard, who had expressed at the beginning of August his wish to experiment with measurement in his municipality.

“We can consider the question of the uniform, but it must come from the establishments themselves”, for his part estimated the president of the Modem, François Bayrou, on Europe 1 and CNEWS.

“The idea that everything must be generalized is an idea that must be taken with caution, with reserve,” added Mr. Bayrou, also cautious about reserving uniform clothing for establishments in priority neighborhoods, an idea mentioned. by the Secretary of State for the City Sabrina Agresti-Roubache.

“There is no reason to add to this question, which is a culturally difficult question, a segregation by the results or by the socio-cultural environment in which we live”, he judged.

In this interview with the JDD, Éric Ciotti also delivers a satisfaction with the recent decision to ban the abaya in schools, a long garment considered by the government as an ostentatious religious sign and therefore contrary to the law.

“But I believe that we must go further by protecting the school outside the walls: we must prohibit the wearing of religious symbols for the parents of accompanying students during school outings”, pleads Mr. Ciotti, taking up a proposal recurring member of his political family.

On the eve of the start of the school year, Mr. Ciotti is also campaigning to “restore the law of 2009” (passed in 2010, applied until 2013) which he had initiated “allowing the abolition of family allowances for resigning parents and better support parents in difficulty through a parental responsibility contract”.

Calling for “rehabilitation of diplomas and grades”, Mr. Ciotti also asks to make obtaining the patent of colleges “a compulsory passage to pass in second”.

“Similarly, we cannot tolerate that some children arrive at college barely knowing how to read.
