“Woe to those who would like to engage in such a policy, we will oppose it”warns the deputy La France insoumise.

Students “need on the contrary to be better trained, to have more teachers, to be more in the school establishment”, according to the elected official of Seine-Saint-Denis. He also underlines that this project contradicts the original promise of the UNS: mixing and social diversity. If it materializes, this stay of cohesion will be “in small local centers where the same people from the same neighborhoods will meet”.

For this former vocational high school teacher, the government’s project is a “stupid gadget” Who “aims in a way to say: there are young people, you have to put the uniform on their backs and teach them the values ​​of the Republic, with a slightly military side”. If this course sees the light of day, the uniform will indeed be required. As to “Republic values”it’s here “mission of the public school” of the “learn” students.
