Episode description

France’s Education nationale no longer repairs its schools. It paints over the cracks, renames failure and turns gaps in learning into “pathways”.

PISA 2025 results, falling standards, a teacher shortage, buried reforms: nobody is lying, every indicator is green, and pupils keep dropping out.
