Nicole Belloubet was appointed Minister of National Education on Thursday. She replaces Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, who is leaving the ministry after 28 days of controversy.

The new minister knows that she is arriving in a minefield, within an institution plagued by doubt and which suffers from numerous ills. The teachers also went on strike, Thursday February 1 and Tuesday February 6, to express both their discomfort and their opposition to the application for the next school year of Gabriel Attal's reforms.
