” I’m not for generalization “of the generalization of the school uniform for all of France, he explained on the microphone of LCI extension on 29 August 2023 the Secretary of State in office of the City since July 2023, Sabrina Agresti-Roubache (of the Renaissance party). On the other hand, the latter said “ very favourable » to the experimentation of a « school clothing “, in particular” in the priority neighborhoods of city politics “.
Yes to the uniform, but only for poor neighborhoods?
For Sabrina Agresti-Roubache the school uniform in these” very popular and very complicated neighborhoods “I would remove” mental burden on parents ” AND ” reduce inequalities “.
As reported BFM extension, “urban policy priority neighborhoods” are defined by a concentration of low-income groups. France has 1,200, easily identifiable on the government website.
According to Sabrina Agresti-Roubache, school principals and directors could decide for themselves to introduce school uniforms through their internal regulations, without the government having to enact a law on the matter.
Obviously this position revolts a part of public opinion, but also rather leftist politicians who find it stigmatizing to impose a uniform on disadvantaged neighborhoods.
Do disputes over the abaya and school uniform serve to cover up a national education crisis?
In this case, the new Minister of National Education and Youth, Gabriel Attal, has already said he wants to experiment with school uniforms in some French municipalities, according to his ” republican concerns which also inspired him to ban the abaya.
Except that, while the government talks nonsense, we can worry about the failure of the Blanquer reform on school leaving exams, about the growing suffering of students and teachers. In addition, 3,000 teaching posts have not been filled for this start of the school year, meaning that National Education will be calling on contract workers whose rapid training very often leaves something to be desired, as numerous surveys have already revealed.
In short, it is a matter of a return to school with high political tension, even if the futile media controversies around the abaya and school uniform try to make us forget the obvious lack of resources destined for national education.
