Several recent reports warn of the gap between the needs of the French and the public services offered. However, the funding is there, but there are holes in the racket. Illustration this Wednesday (September 27, 2023) during the government’s presentation of the 2024 draft budget: the Ministry of National Education plans an increase of 3.9 billion euros, but at the same time, the elimination of 2,500 positions of teachers.
How to explain this type of paradox? What are the public service missions today? What avenues for improvement?
