In front of the Gisèle Guillemot middle school in Mondeville, a handful of parents await the start of the first meeting of the yearand the theme of changing the school map is on everyone’s lips: “This is exactly what we feared, we said we were against it“, Plague David Michel, a former parent of an elected college student in Mondeville.
At the beginning of the 2023 school year, Guillemot Middle School students can apply to be assigned to Mondeville or Henri Brunet Middle School in Caen, ten minutes by car from the Mondeville plant. “Only this already poses several problems: for Colombelles students who are educated in Mondeville, the journey will be very long, we do not know how the school transport will be organized to get there …“, Sighs David Michel.
A problem raised the mayor of Mondeville, Hélène Burgat, guest of France Bleu Normandie this Thursday 15 September: “We were told that the children would be transported to college, but I met my colleague Nicolas Joyau, vice president in charge of transport for the agglomeration of Caen-la-Mer, who does not know at all how he is going to pick up the children from Colombelles. and Mondeville to bring them to Henri Brunet, so the question of transportation was not resolved.“
Colombelles college had already closed in 2018
Especially since this is not the first change: in 2018, the Henri Sellier college in Colombelles closed its doors and the students were repatriated to Mondeville. “The establishment is now saturated, it is obviously not the fault of the Colombello children, but it is a lack of organization and planning of the ward, which should have anticipated this problem, because we knew that demographics would evolve“, Denounces Angélique Lubert, parent of a student elected for 4 years.
If no answer is given to them, these parents of students do not exclude the organization of a mobilization to make their voices heard.
