Emmanuel Macron presented his reform of vocational education on May 4. The reform is financed to the tune of an additional billion euros per year.
The idea is to restore the image of a sector that remains unloved of the school system. Only 40% of young graduates of vocational high schools find a job six months after graduation. Macron also assured that "the commitment of teachers of high school pro" would be recognized by salary increases "with a still significant and redoubled effort" to the extent that they accept new tasks.
