You know the French like to protest - it is part of their culture and they just love this hobby! So it was no surprise that several thousands of students and teachers took to the streets in Paris yesterday to protest against education reform initiated by French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Sarko was in London cozying up with Flash Gordo so it fell on deaf ears. Besides Sarko has more to worry about - see our earlier posts this week!
What is their angst? Their complaints of job decrease and stricter academic assessment have been fueled by recent statements of Education Minister Luc Chatel, who proposed to recruit retirees and students to substitute absent teachers.
