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. There are challenges, but it is by investing in work, in intelligence and knowledge that we will solve them, not by protesting and above all by destroying

PISA 2025: Faced with the decline of our pupils, the education reforms driven by the MR are more necessary than ever!

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. These difficulties are long-standing and structural. For twenty years, rigour, effort and discipline were taboo at school.

Artificial intelligence is already changing schools, and it's happening very fast. If properly managed, it can offer every pupil a tutor available 24/7, while freeing up time for teachers to focus on the pedagogical relationship.

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

Reforming is not disrespectful: it is es
