Anne Genetet's appointment as France's new Minister of Education has sparked significant controversy.

Critics, including teacher unions, argue that her lack of experience in education makes her an unsuitable choice.

Genetet, previously a deputy representing French citizens abroad, has a background in medical journalism and business, with no direct experience in the educational sector.

Her appointment is seen as part of a broader pattern of inconsistent educational policies under President Emmanuel Macron's administration.

Despite the backlash, Genetet is supported by Gabriel Attal's team and aims to continue existing educational reforms.

However, budget constraints and potential job cuts in the education sector pose additional challenges for her tenure.
