PRIVÉ VS PUBLIC : "Si le privé progresse, c’est que le public échoue !"

On Wednesday's Estelle Midi program, the day's statistic is alarming: by 2035, 41% of middle school students in major cities could be attending private schools, a proportion that climbs to 74% among students from privileged backgrounds. This is a sign of the growing appeal of private education, despite unequal access and a significant cost to the state, estimated at over 8 billion euros per year. 00:00 Should the state stop funding private schools? 03:09 Fred Hermel: "It's a failure of the public school system if more and more people choose private schools!" 04:30 Elise Goldfarb: "I spent a year in private school because I was fired from the public system." 07:04 Jérôme Lavrilleux: "Everything is designed to push them into private school, regardless of their social class." 10:29 Listener: "I put my two children in private school." 12:59 Listener: "It's more complicated than that." 👥 Estelle Midi is the lunchtime talk show for opinions and debates, airing between 12 PM and 3 PM.
