The Minister of National Education, Anne Genetet, during the first council of ministers of the Barnier government, at the Elysée, September 23, 2024.

When she arrived on the steps of the Hôtel de Rochechouart, Monday September 23, to accept her new position as Minister of National Education, Anne Genetet, wearing a satin beige jacket and black trousers, knew that she had be inspected. His first public speech has not taken place but, already, a debate has taken place about the choice of this Renaissance MP, elected from the 11th district of the French people abroad since 2017, to succeed Nicole Belloubet.

His foreign profile to national education has thrown the entire educational ecosystem, from teachers to authorities in the Rue de Grenelle. And it took a few hours after his surprising decision within the government of Michel Barnier, on September 21, for the public to discover the digital traces of his previous consulting work for immigrants who employ domestic workers in Singapore , where he lived in 2005.

Turn it on company website founded in 2009, the Help Center, to help with the hiring and training of domestic workers, especially of Filipino origin, we seek solutions such as: “Avoid emotion and pity”, “be patient”, “keep the right distance: explain that you can’t act like you because you don’t have the same style”, “a helper that feels shame becomes unmanageable; he will find a way to change families.” Or again: “Workers who have only known local families, Chinese for example, are often more flexible, more sensitive to instructions and for the most part develop a greater sense of “Asian” work. »

The gap is huge: how can they think you can be the right person? », asked Sophie Vénétitay, from SNES-FSU. “We have the impression of someone who not only knows nothing about it, but whose values ​​also seem to be far from the work of the public and the principles of the State.”complained the inspector general, who wished to remain anonymous.

Those around Anne Genetet say these arguments “click on it”, and those close to him instead highlight his past as a doctor and his volunteer work with the immigrant population during his years in Singapore. The minister was, in any case, particularly intelligent for his first week in the Rue de Grenelle, where he “swallow files”, just like those around you.
