“No taboo.” The new Minister of National Education, Anne Genetet, responded on Tuesday October 1 to the tiktoker @SenseiDMots who launched a petition for classes to take place only in the morning, a text signed by nearly 300,000 people. In a video posted on the social network, the new minister explains, however, that it will be difficult to change things over the years, but says she is listening “all the good ideas”.
“I know you already have busy days, with classes, commuting, after-school activities.”

“We are not going to change the entire organization of the courses, even though the year has already started, because that would change a lot of things: the staff who supervise these activities, the places, the structures to be adapted, and then the methods of care for working parents”continues the minister, before specifying that she sent an invitation to @SenseiDMots to come and discuss at the ministry.
“The most demanding courses, such as mathematics, French, English, technology, history and life and earth sciences, are often scheduled at the end of the day, when our attention is already impaired “reports the tiktoker’s petition on the Change.org site. In a video on TikTok, @SenseiDMots suggests taking classes between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.
In another video, which has exceeded 4 million views, the TikToker gives the floor to high school students from Montataire and Compiègne in the Oise. “I wake up at 5 a.m. and go home, it’s 9 p.m., we can’t take it anymore”explains in particular a high school student from Montataire who lives almost two hours from her establishment. “At the end [de la journée]we are completely knocked out, productivity drops completely. Basically, we just sit there to be present, we don’t understand much of the class anymore.”regrets another high school student.
