Sanctuarize education. For once, almost all of the presidential candidates could find themselves on this imperative. Each in their own way of course. But this is not the time to make savings on the back of the National Education budget. Even Valérie Pécresse, the candidate who proposes to cut the most civil servant posts, proposes to recruit 10,000 teachers during her five-year term if she were to be elected. Another consequence, no doubt, of the health crisis, which has brought to light the full place occupied by the school in French society. Update on candidate programs.

Methodology: for each of your answers, our simulator gives you more or less points compared to each candidate. At the end of the questionnaire, we offer you a list of candidates, starting with the one with whom you have the most points of agreement on all the questions asked. This “ranking” is obviously to be taken as an indication, given that it is not exhaustive, even if we have ensured the variety of questions. To give you a definitive opinion, we invite you in particular to consult all the programs of the candidates. You can find them here or on official sites.
