According to this line of work, all high school teachers will be able to submit an application for their class to carry out a cohesion stay, in uniform and during school time, in second class. Contacted by franceinfo, the office of the Secretary of State in charge of Youth did not specify whether this internship would be compulsory or not.

Sophie Vénétitay, deputy general secretary of the SNES-FSU union, believes on franceinfo that high school students have “more need for school than that”. She also asserts that the promises of “Diversity” made by the executive to promote the UNS would only be one “screen”, the course is only open to students of French nationality.
