Blue Pullovers, Grey Trousers: French Prez Macron’s New Experiment with School Uniform
News 18If the French government has its way, children could soon be going to school in uniform blue pullovers and grey trousers as part of President Emmanuel Macron’s campaign to make education more equal and orderly. A government source on Friday confirmed to AFP the typical uniform that authorities want to see used in a new experiment that Macron announced this week as part of his effort to instil national pride and counter the growing popularity of the far-right. Macron, who also wants all children to learn France’s national anthem “La Marseillaise”, said that uniforms “erase inequality between families and at the same time create conditions for respect”. Le Figaro newspaper reported that the government wanted children to wear a white or grey polo shirt, blue pullover and grey trousers.
