French town Beziers begins trial of school uniforms as part of President Macron's national experiment to make them compulsory in 2026.

French town Beziers began a trial of school uniforms, becoming the first in mainland France to do so. The move is part of a national experiment initiated by President Emmanuel Macron, who wants to make uniforms compulsory across the nation in 2026 if the trial is successful. The majority of the towns signing up for the test are run by the right wing, with some resistance from teachers, students, and parents who believe the money would be better spent on other areas of public education.
