Paris, 19 June 2013. Press release.
On 25 June 2013, the French Senate will probably vote in favour of the present version of the bill for “Reorganisation of public schools”. This would bury the provision prioritising Free Software in the future “Public Service for Digital Education”, contrary to what that same Senate introduced at first reading. The bill also fails to set up a true curriculum in computer science, even though it has become crucial that IT be taught to every student as an integral part of the general background knowledge.
