In terms of social diversity at school, France is in the lead according to several specialized studies in the sector. Why this finding? And what more can the Ministry of National Education do?

The public welcomes a large proportion of pupils from underprivileged backgrounds when, conversely, the private sector educates more very privileged children. An equality of opportunity which is therefore difficult to become commonplace. Why this finding? What would be the solutions and actions to be implemented?
To talk about it, Manon Mella receives Alexandra NizakPresident of the “Learning Together” Collective, and Elise Huilleryprofessor of economics at Paris-Dauphine University, and member of the Scientific Council for National Education.
