Diversity and discrimination in Paris Prep classes

Diversity and discrimination in Paris Prep classes

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, National Education draws the public’s attention to the discrimination suffered by young girls in boarding schools who live in separate dormitories and sometimes far from places of instruction. Example at Lycée Stanislas in Paris in the 6th arrondissement: students in preparatory classes must stay in an external building. Testimony of Simon, student of Stanislas, interview of Daniel CHAPELLIER, director of Stanislas justifying this situation by historical and logistical considerations, the opening of the boarding school to girls would be at the expense of places for boys who do not have access to other housing nearby. Interview with Fédérique AST de la HALDE for whom a will and financial means are necessary. Another example is the Lycée Henri IV in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, which has 135 accommodation spaces. Interview with Wai Chi, student in preparatory class to Henri IV, worried about having finally been able to get a room in boarding school in terms of saving travel time and fatigue.
