Constitutional Council: Censorship of a reform introduced by National Education in the finance bill

\n\n

THE Constitutional Council decided to censor a reform introduced by the National education within the finance bill. This action raises questions not only about the legality of educational reforms, but also about their foreclosure in an economic context.

Decision of the Constitutional Council: unexpected censorship

\n\n

THE Constitutional Council, in its capacity as regulator of the constitutionality of laws, judged irregular a measure contained in the finance bill presented by theNational education. This measure, which was supposed to bring about a structural reform of education in France, was therefore invalidated, casting a chill over the Ministry of National Education.

\n\n

The reform in question: why such censorship?

\n\n

The reform that the Constitutional Council chose to censor has not been precisely identified. However, it appears that this measure would have had a major economic impact, making it a likely candidate for the finance bill. THE Constitutional Council would have judged that the National education would have exceeded its powers by introducing such a measure without prior consultation of the National Assembly.

\n\n

What impact for National Education?

\n\n

Censorship by Constitutional Council of this reform introduced by theNational education asks questions about the independence and limits of ministerial powers in France. This rejection could have an impact on how the National education table future reforms, but also create an atmosphere of uncertainty around the next finance laws.

\n\n

Towards a new approach to educational reforms?

\n\n

This censorship could trigger a review within the National education of the way in which new reforms are designed and introduced. It could also encourage greater collaboration between different ministries when preparing finance bills, in order to avoid such censorship in the future.
