Overview
- Teacher testimonies gathered by the Fep-CFDT describe uneven implementation in private contracted schools, including sessions held outside class time without teachers and use of non‑accredited groups.
- The union cites Cycloshow‑XY as not accredited and flagged for links reported by teachers to positions opposed to abortion and contraception, urging verification of partners’ status.
- Guillaume Prévost said Catholic education will apply the Evars programme and claimed communities are mobilised, while arguing that periscolaire interventions can proceed without teachers or national accreditation.
- The ministry reminded schools that Evars sessions must be organised under education staff responsibility, with only institutional or duly accredited associations allowed, promising verification and regulatory reminders if needed.
- Prévost’s defense of prayer in class drew sharp criticism from laïcité advocates and unions, as the ministry noted imposed prayer is unlawful and any optional prayer counts as religious instruction outside class time.
