For those who still doubted it, the case is now clear: it is not good, under the reign of Emmanuel Macron, to displease the far right. Pap Ndiaye has just had the hard experience of it. Here he is, in fact, dismissed from the government when he carried out, more or less, for fourteen months, the policy of his predecessor and when in terms of school reforms, he was only the hologram of the President of the Republic.

His surprise arrival on rue de Grenelle had raised some hope: an intellectual recognized for his work on minorities and discrimination, admired for the impetus given to the Museum of the History of Immigration, respected for his nuanced positions in the face of accusations of “wokism” and “Islamo-leftism » in the university, he had been rather well received by the professors and the executives of the national education, hard tested, it is true, by the five years of Jean-Michel Blanquer.
Certainly, the man knew almost nothing about the school institution, but, after all, it could also allow him to approach subjects with a fresh look. Perhaps even, as a resolute humanist, he was able to suspend for a moment the pipe reforms carried out at a forced march before him… And to concern himself, finally, with the purposes of a school then abandoned to the experts of the Excel spreadsheet?

What was left for the Minister then? Surrounded by advisers and senior civil servants recruited by his predecessor, under the direct supervision of the Elysée Palace, he could only pursue the policy of Jean-Michel Blanquer, that of the Institut Montaigne and of the liberal right: prioritization of kindergarten to the detriment of real preparation for schooling, caporalization of primary school teachers under the authority of neurosciences, abandonment of the college to its sad fate as a marshalling yard, reorganization of the high school to supply the Parcoursup machinery, breakage of the professional high school whose students are deprived of general education which is essential to their civic education and put in competition at all levels, without worrying about the inequalities and rivalries thus created…
