Sumario:This article attempts to analyse the two years (2017-2019) of school policy conducted in France by the Minister of Education Jean-Michel Blanquer in the governments of the new President Emmanuel Macron. Indeed, this policy is particularly difficult to decipher insofar as it claims to be neither right nor left. The author first analyses the ideological and theoretical framework of this policy (within which we find neo-liberalism and neuroscience), then some aspects of the communication and the actions of the minister who seeks a lot of media attention. Finally, the main principles of the so-called law of "the school of trust" promulgated in July 2019. This analysis shows that behind the declared good intentions of tackling school failure hides an authoritarian policy characterised by a lack of trust towards teachers and bias during selection, to the detriment of the students most in need.
