Didier Georges believes that Pap Ndiaye “often showed empathy and understanding towards staff“. So the SNPDEN will “try to work as best as possible“with the new minister because”major projects are to come“. He points in particular “an absolute emergency from the start of the school year” : that of “decisions to be made on the place of mathematics in the common core“. According to him, it is “technically almost impossible given the deadlines” but “we have to settle this story“.

“It is not always the technocrats who have had the best careers at the head of this complicated ministry.”

Didier Georges also warns about “the state of national education” and on “the recruitment of teachers when we see that the profession no longer attracts many“. He also expects the minister to be “listening to teachers and listening to management staff“. According to him, “there is no reason for Mr. Pap Ndiaye to fail if he is able to understand the priorities“.
