“We really have a school separatism that is taking place. And even within public education, an establishment in Paris is obviously not the same as in Seine-Saint-Denis”, he said. added.
“You can put on clothes, you won’t hide the inequalities, it’s media fun,” he insisted.
The Minister of National Education, Gabriel Attal, announced that he would specify “in the fall” the modalities of an “experiment” in “voluntary” establishments.
On the channel of youtubeur Hugo Décrypte, President Emmanuel Macron spoke out rather for a “unique outfit”, “much more acceptable for teenagers”.
“Without having a uniform, you can say: You put on jeans, a T-shirt and a jacket,” argued the head of state.
“They (the executive) have decided to launch a high school social movement. No other explanation!” Reacted the first secretary of the PS, Olivier Faure, on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
