PARIS: France´s new Education Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera is coming under increasing pressure over her decision for her children to attend a private school, in a row overshadowing President Emmanuel Macron´s attempt to relaunch his second term with a reshuffle.
Opponents have questioned her insistence that she sent one child to a private school over short staffing at his public establishment, in an increasingly bitter and personal dispute. Oudea-Castera was one of the main winners in last week´s reshuffle, with the former French junior tennis champion given the education ministry alongside her existing portfolio as sports minister.
