France s Macron set to close elite school in equal opportunity push Reuters 4 hrs ago
PARIS, April 8 (Reuters) - President Emmanuel Macron will announce on Thursday the closure of France s Ecole Nationale d Administration, an elite finishing school that has produced many of the country s presidents, ambassadors and business leaders, French media reported.
The move to abolish what has for some in France become a symbol of unequal opportunity is part of Macron s drive for a fairer society. Macron himself studied there.
A new school will be established in its place with revamped rules for recruitment and access to the highest tiers of the civil service.
