A visit to CREPS
On the minister's agenda, a visit to the facilities of the Expertise and Sports Performance Resource Center, the famous CREPS, but also a meeting with the four-time Olympic swimming champion Leon Marchand.
The minister and the champion
It was during a training session Dauphins du Toulouse Olympique Employees Club that the Toulouse crawl virtuoso will meet the minister. Léon Marchand who has just distinguished himself on X through a simple emoticon of clown. Emoticon posted in reaction to theabandonment of the generalization of two additional hours of weekly sport in middle school.
Implemented on an experimental basis for two years in more than 700 colleges, this measure should, according to President Emmanuel Macron, become generalized from 2026. Measure ultimately abandoned because “too complex to implement“, as the Minister of Education indicates on his website, specifying that “its generalization to all 7,000 colleges does not appear sustainable. »
The Minister of Education reacts
Anne Genetetthe Minister of National Education was quick to react to Léon Marchand's post, evoking not a pure and simple abandonment of the project, but on the contrary a “more effective” and “fairer” adaptation.
Toulouse in the deep end
Teasingly, will Léon Marchand take advantage of the arrival of the Minister of Sports, Youth and Community Life to address the subject? One thing is certain: the two men should talk about the City of Swimming project. A project supported by the Toulouse town hall, which for the moment is conditional due to its complexity and high cost.
