The rector of Paris Christophe Kerrero announced on Friday that he was leaving his position in a letter to academy staff, against a backdrop of the failure of his project to reform preparatory classes in the capital intended to introduce more social diversity.
“All the measures to support students in terms of promotion and social diversity taken by the rector of Paris are supported and financed. They will all be carried out”, reacted the entourage of Amélie Oudéa-Castéra in a message sent to the press. “The Paris rectorate had considered three class closures to finance these initiatives. The minister accepts her choice to launch a moratorium on these closures, and thus to support even more strongly the social project of the rectorate and the existing offer”, a- he added.
