He left Rue de Grenelle almost three years ago – in July 2019 – to take the reins, as rector, of the Nancy-Metz academy and the Grand Est academic region. He is preparing to take the opposite route: Jean-Marc Huart, who for two years, from 2017 to 2019, was director general of school education at the Ministry of Education, is preparing, according to our sources, to be appointed chief of staff to the new minister, Pap Ndiaye.
This is the sign of a “continuity between the two five-year terms”, are we already reacting on the school grounds, while the differences in intellectual backgrounds between Jean-Michel Blanquer and Pap Ndiaye have not ceased to be highlighted since the handover ceremony between the two men, Friday, May 20 . On social networks, some teachers already judged, even before the formalization of the appointment of Mr. Huart, that he would be the “true minister”and that on its own, it relativized the“rupture effect”.
