« How to destroy a French university: lessons from Rennes II | Main | French parents protest absent teachers »

However unions persist in opposing any change. Next strike action: Tuesday December 15th.
To get the flavor of the call to protest, see the below articles.

I never did understand why Capesiens were thrown into the classroom AND the IUFM simultaneously. Doesn't it make more sense to train your teachers before you set them before students?
I know, I'm preaching to the choir.
