The Hauts-de-France region will fund the wearing of uniforms in two secondary schools

Two vocational high schools in Hautes-de-France will adopt the jacket next school year. Elected representatives of the regional council voted to fund this experiment, which will include the Saint-Exupéry secondary school in Halloween in the north, which has 340 students, and the Robert Desnos secondary school in Créby-en-Valois, in the Oise region, which has 260 students.. Frédéric Lefebvre, advisor to the regional council of the Modem Party, explained that the amount, amounting to 300,000 euros for the region, aims to “avoid the race for expensive clothes and help erase obvious aspects of social inequality.”

The president of the regional council, Xavier Bertrand, wants this uniform to be manufactured in Hautes-de-France. A range of items were offered with sweatshirts, shirts and socks. An assessment will then be made, especially regarding cohesion between students and creating a sense of belonging. This measure, which was supported by the majority, was supported by the RN group.

It’s a false response to the school’s problems, a response to the group of socialist and communist elected officials who voted against it. He pointed out that there are other emergencies in schools in the region, in light of the lack of resources.
