Overview

• Le Journal du Dimanche reports that the Conseil supérieur de l’Éducation approved an amendment to replace “vacances de la Toussaint/Noël/Pâques” with “vacances d’automne/d’hiver/de printemps.”
• The amendment is attributed to the FSU-SNUipp, identified as the leading union for primary-school teachers.
• UNI condemned the move as an erasure of France’s Christian heritage and said it launched a petition to alert the Education Ministry.
• RN deputy Matthias Renault criticized the reported decision and called for abolishing the council, which he labeled a politicized body.
• The council serves only an advisory role to the Education Ministry, so any change to official holiday names would still require government action.
