France's new Education Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castera is on the defensive over her decision to send her children to private school. The row threatens to overshadow President Emmanuel Macron's attempt to reboot his second term with a reshuffle that's already seen as a sharp tilt to the right.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, on her first school visit as minister, Oudéa-Castera defended her decision to educate her three boys at the prestigious Stanislas school – a private Catholic institution in Paris – rather than in the public system.
