A few days ago, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, newly appointed Minister of National Education, admitted having removed her children from the Littré public school in order to send them to private school at the Stanislas school, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris . This Tuesday, the controversy, far from having faded, takes a specifically Parisian turn. The mayor (PS) of Paris Anne Hidalgo asks him, in a letter, to recruit teachers for her city.
“The question of replacing teachers, like that of overcrowded classes, calls for the same response: the recruitment of sufficient teachers,” wrote Anne Hidalgo to the Minister of National Education. In her letter, the mayor of Paris recalls that Gabriel Attal, predecessor of Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, had planned for the start of the school year in September 2024 “the elimination of 125 teaching positions in Paris in primary education, and 128 positions in primary education. second degree “.
“It is up to you to guarantee its proper functioning, by providing it with the necessary means to accomplish its educational mission. »

Anne Hidalgo accuses the minister, already in charge of Sports – for which she retained responsibility – in the previous government, accusing her of having been “in solidarity with these measures” taken by Gabriel Attal at the time. She adds that despite the personal nature of her choice to send her children to private school, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra showed “a form of distrust and contempt for public schools”. A distrust that the minister faced this Tuesday by going to the Littré school, to boos.
