Emmanuel Macron as works inspector. The French head of state visited one of the 59 schools in Marseille which are part of the experiment of a “school of the future”, which he launched last September. It is a question of giving more means and pedagogical freedom to teachers. For example, mathematics workshops for primary school children have been set up in this establishment. Emmanuel Macron now wants to generalize this method.
With our special correspondent in Marseille, Anthony Latier
For the French president, the Marseille test is conclusive, it must be extended to all of France for all teachers.
They had hourly discharges, they have additional remuneration. But, alongside that, we give them the freedom to build the project that allows them to find meaning. And so that, then, we’re going to roll it out locally, starting in the fall-winter, and then we’re going to constantly adjust our method and improve it.
In nine months, the Marseille en Grand plan is moving forward and is already bearing fruit! Thinking up innovative ways of doing things, imagining different teaching methods for our children: 59 schools have done this. Like here at the Menpenti school where the children love math! pic.twitter.com/m6EhRjAzce

Emmanuel Macron remains more vague about the possibility for school directors to recruit their teachers themselves. No question of rushing the teachers a week before the legislative elections.
We never said: “We are going to get all the school principals to do, in a way, since we are in a football city, their own transfer window. »
This is the red line not to cross, warns the socialist mayor of Marseille, Benoît Payan.
I don’t want it, it’s out of the question. National Education, it has meaning and it has a history. And today, there is a national education code, I think for everyone, it is very clear that no one can derogate from it.
I welcome to Marseille the President of the Republic and the Minister of National Education.
In this school, as in the 469 others in our city, we want to give the same means, the same learning conditions and the same opportunities to all children. pic.twitter.com/8UifD2R5N1— Benoit Payan (@BenoitPayan) June 2, 2022
As for the new Minister of National Education, Pape Ndiaye, he remains behind the president. Just a few words…
We are following very closely what is happening here.
Despite everything, it is he who will have to provide the after-sales service for this “new method” contested by the unions. Emmanuel Macron has also announced the return of mathematics as an option in first.
