Amélie Oudéa-Castéra is stepping down as Education Minister after four weeks.
She stumbles over a statement of her own.
The new education minister in France, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, is no longer in office after just four weeks. The new head of government, Gabriel Attal, has ordered a change within the government.
The background to the change is a statement by Oudéa-Castéra. She explained that she was sending her children to private school because there were too many classes missed in public school. The minister then found herself exposed to a wave of criticism.
