A newly-released poll shows that a majority of French people are unsatisfied with the quality of education they received in the country.


The survey conducted by market researching company CSA and published on Monday revealed that 58 percent found the equality of the education they received in France as unsatisfactory.

The poll also found that nearly six out of ten or 57 percent believed teachers in France to be “badly trained,” and another one in ten thought their educators were “very-badly trained” while only two percent saw them “very-well trained.”

In a separate poll, showed a massive 93 percent of its readers saw “The quality of teaching is getting worse.”

The recent surveys came as the French Education Minister Vincent Peillon was recently forced to defend the quality of the country’s higher education system, after only four French universities was ranked among the world’s top 100 in an annual report.

Meanwhile, France is struggling to tackle its unemployment, which has climbed for 27 consecutive months, reaching a record high of 3.28 million in July.

The younger generation has been hit the hardest as one in four French youths are jobless and cannot find any source of income.

An estimated 1.9 million French youths aged between 15 to 29 are known as NEETS which means neither in employment, nor in education, or in training.

Hollande took office in May 2012 with promises to curb the rising unemployment by the end of 2013 and to create 100,000 new jobs per year.
