France. It is the "war economy" and the "better war than revolution" policy that will destroy the school and... the youth !

Among the "savings" on public services needed due to bankruptcy and a war economy, the French State, under the pretext of a demographic decline, intends to completely destroy the national education system, which was already increasingly degraded…

It is not just the precariousness of the teaching profession, the closing of teaching positions, the decrease in applications, the closing of classes, the reduction of budgets, there is a real project of destruction under the pretext of what is called "the seismic wave" of demographic decline and due to massive budget reductions to better fund the arms and war sector.

The army even enters the school where it conducts its propaganda to recruit.
