1.5 million employees,
life-long teaching career, unified curriculum prepared by the ministry, large
classes, high number of lessons, subject-centered teaching, traditional frontal
teaching methods – characteristics of the French school system, the basis of
present changes of our education system.
I’m making this interview
with Nelly Guet, education expert who was a school principal in France for 22
years as well as directing schools in Switzerland and Germany. She was a board
member of ESHA for years so she is familiar with European trends and
recommendations. I was asking her about French traditions and the results of
their school system.
