Which minister will succeed Jean-Michel Blanquer?
Although no name has yet been officially announced, several ministers have been announced as favorites, including government spokesman Gabriel Attal, dynamic and close to the youth. Especially since according to BFM TV, Olivia Grégoire, Secretary of State for the Social and Solidarity Economy will be appointed government spokesperson. What we do know is that Gabriel Attal will remain in the government, in another post, which could also be that of Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (in place of Frédérique Vidal). Bruno Le Maire, whose name had been suggested, should retain his current post as Minister of the Economy. In addition, other names have been announced: Julien Denormandie or Olivier Véran. In any case, Emmanuel Macron intends to promote a “new method” to better meet the expectations and needs of the French, especially since Jean-Michel Blanquer has been repeatedly criticized for some of his measures taken during this five-year term. Reform of the baccalaureate, health protocol at school at each start of the school year, mask in primary school … The minister has multiplied the announcements, sometimes to the detriment of pupils and teachers, who have not failed to demonstrate in recent years. The challenge is therefore daunting for the next Minister of Education, who will have to take over the reins and prove himself by presenting an action plan for the next school year in 2022.
