Back to school: What's on the French curriculum this year?

Description

France's long summer holidays have finally drawn to a close and "la rentrée" is upon us: it’s back-to-school time! But this year, for many students, there will be some significant changes. Among them are the re-introduction of a four-day week, drastically smaller class sizes, and a new focus on civic engagement. Meanwhile, 15-year-olds embarking on their baccalaureate qualifications will be the first to take the so-called "new Bac" in June 2021.
