After the ban on the abaya, the Minister of National Education wants to “test” the wearing of uniforms in schools.
They are nearly 12 million students to find the benches of the school this Monday. It is this moment that Gabriel Attal chose to take out of his binder a new announcement. After the ban on the abaya at the end of August, the Minister of National Education will detail in the fall “the methods of experimenting with the uniformin schools. “I’m not sure this is a silver bullet that will fix all the problems, but it’s worth trying”, he assured this Monday at the microphone of RTL. From his first steps at the Hôtel de Rochechouart, the minister said he was in favor of experimenting with the uniform “if the educational community of an establishment” asks for it, without setting a horizon.
“The best way to test an idea is to test things in a series of establishments. We will then see if it is useful or not for the students», argued the minister. By autumn, Gabriel Attal should easily find a slew of volunteers on the right, where we are calling for “go further” after the ban on the abaya in schools. Like the boss of LR, Éric Ciotti, who pleaded in the columns of the JDD for the launch of an experiment in its Alpes-Maritimes department. “It will be the best response against those who seek to circumvent the law, and a way to mitigate social differences”he justified Sunday in the weekly.

He thus joins the request of the RN mayor of Perpignan, Louis Aliot, who proposed Thursday the wearing of a “uniform dress” in the schools of his city, and that of the mayor of Béziers, Robert Ménard, who had also expressed his wish at the beginning of August to experiment with it in his commune. Long in the pipes under the former Minister of National Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, the general wearing of uniforms was finally ruled out by his successor Pap Ndiaye.
