In Plouay (Morbihan) this Saturday, March 16th, around 250 people, according to the organizers, gathered to protest against the reform of level groups. Parents and teachers from several schools in Morbihan showed their strong protestation to the reform and their concerns about its future consequences.
The demonstration, organized by the parents’ associations and supported by the teachers’ unions, aimed to denounce the government’s decision to reform the grouping of students by level. This reform, which is set to be implemented in September 2019, will group students of different levels together in the same class, regardless of their academic abilities.
The protesters, carrying signs and chanting slogans, marched through the streets of Plouay to express their disagreement with the reform. They fear that this new system will have a negative impact on the quality of education and the academic success of their children.
« We are here to defend our children’s right to a quality education. This reform will only create more inequalities and hinder the progress of our students, » said one of the parents.
The teachers also expressed their concerns about the reform, stating that it will be difficult to adapt their teaching methods to a class with students of different levels. They also fear that this will lead to a decrease in the overall level of education.
The protest was also an opportunity for the parents and teachers to come together and discuss alternance solutions to improve the education system. They called on the government to listen to their voices and reconsider the reform.
Despite the rain, the atmosphere was determined and united. The protesters showed their determination to continue the fight against the reform until their demands are heard.
« We will not give up until the government takes into account our concerns and finds a better solution for our children’s education, » declared one of the organizers.
The demonstration ended with a call for a national mobilization against the reform, with the hope of making the government reconsider its decision.
The parents and teachers of Plouay have shown their determination and solidarity in the face of this reform. They have sent a strong message to the government that they will not accept any changes that could harm the education of their children.
