During his press conference on Tuesday January 16, Emmanuel Macron developed several areas such as education and health.
Regaining the unity of the country is one of the objectives stated by Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday January 16 during his press conference. To achieve this, the head of state first focused on education. Tested in 100 schools, the wearing of uniforms could be generalized in 2026 and civic education courses should double from 2025. “I am totally in favor of learning the Marseillaise in primary school”assured the president.
In favor of doubling medical deductibles
To revive the declining birth rate in the country, a major plan to combat infertility should be created, as well as birth leave, shorter than the current parental leave. In the field of health, Emmanuel Macron was in favor of doubling medical deductibles, from 50 cents to one euro per box of medicine. This measure should bring in 800 million euros for social security.
