France’s ex-PM Elizabeth Borne named education minister

Among the familiar faces in France’s new government is Elisabeth Borne, who served as Macron’s second Prime Minister from 2022 to 2024 when she resigned in a cabinet reshuffle. The installation of a former prime minister as head of the Education, is seen as a sign of the importance Macron and Bayrou are placing on reforming and improving France’s education system, which has been in crisis for years amid insufficient staffing and resources.
