The recently appointed French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal impressed everyone present in the National Assembly (lower house of the French parliament), where he talked about restoring authority in the country’s schools and implementing some changes in the education policies around schools in France. Measures taken by the French Government prove to have some similarities with the policies that already exist in India.
Here are some highlights of the speech as orated by Gabriel Attal on 30th January, 2024 at the National Assembly, in Paris.
1.Plan to revive the school uniforms:-Gabriel Attal confirmed a plan to experiment with uniforms in some public schools as part of efforts to move the focus away from clothes and reduce school bullying. If the experiment proves to have a positive result, the uniforms in schools will be returning by 2026. Le Frehindi provides the Indian students to visit French schools as a part of exchange program, where they are often surprised to see school students with no uniforms when they visit the French schools .
2.Strict action against bullying:-The students found bullying anyone inside or outside school will be immediately expelled from the school, “We stand against bullying and I am proud to make this decision” he quoted. Le Frehindi has always been in support of anti bullying and have always warned the students about the disciplinary actions, if found indulged in such activities on their exchange program or any summer camps & winter camps.
3.Sentence of community service :-He also announced the creation of a new “sentence of community service” for children under 16 who need to be sanctioned. “We need to get back to a clear principle: You break, you fix. You make it dirty, you clean. You defy authority, you learn to respect it,” he said.
4 .Mobile phones restricted in middle schools :- The middle school students also termed as les collègiens will not be allowed to bring their mobile phones or other electronic gadgets in school, this all was done to reduce the screen time that the young students spend on their phones.
5.Repetition of students:- The authority of allowing a student to repeat the class in middle school will be returning to the school or the faculty that oversees all these matters of the school .
6 .Compulsary internship for the Higher Secondary students :-The students in the final year of their school will now have to complete an internship of atleast 2 weeks, inorder to fabricate the students for the upcoming future. Le Frehindi also helps in facilitating the Indian students with multiple internships in India or in France as well.
7.Wheel chairs for the handicapped students:-Students that are physically challenged will be financially aided to be equipped with wheel chairs, and finance to support the disabled students during lunch time will be funded.
The former Education Minister, Gabriel Attal has planned to improve the French schooling system. Upon analysing the new reforms we can conclude that some points resembles to that of the New Education Policy (NEP) that is to be launched in India.
