Violence in Liège: Stop the excuses, bring back a sense of responsibility and effort

The violence and damage committed in recent days are unacceptable. It is time to stop telling young people that everything is going badly and will keep going badly for them. We must dare to tell young people the truth: life demands effort.

The PISA 2025 results confirm a worrying observation the MR has long made: in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, our pupils are declining in both mathematics and reading.

Back to basics, rigour, merit and the future: the new 1st year of secondary school

The 1st year of secondary school is finally entering the 21st century with more French, mathematics, sciences and a timetable that empowers, rather than a mere accumulation of gimmick hours.
