The new French Education Minister ; Xavier Darcos, has been very active in announcing reforms of the state education system. So far the most far-reaching reform has been the abolition of Saturday morning school in the primary sector. There has been Saturday morning school in France ever since school was invented. Generations of kids have crawled to school on Saturdays, when their counterparts in other European countries have still been tucked up in bed enjoying a well-earned lie-in. However, this is now set to change.
Monsieur Darcos has announced the complete phasing out of Saturday morning school in the primary sector by September 2008. The abolition of this curious French practice will be extended to Secondary schools in September 2009.
