In 2024 I wrote in this newspaper an article defending the recovery of mandatory readings in schools and high schools, making it clear that “eliminating mandatory readings is a way of preserving the logic of fleeting satisfaction”. I also underlined that reading “entails the responsibility of doing what we consider good because we have a vision of country and a shared heritage: Flaubert is French cultural heritage. What is ours?” 

Back to basics. Back to basics. This is the foundation of the learning reinforcement measures presented this Thursday by the Minister of Education, Esther Niubó. These measures will be focused on improving how the two main pillars of learning are taught: language and reading comprehension, and mathematics. Among the guidelines, a significant change has been announced: next year there will once again be mandatory readings in baccalaureate, and all schools and high schools will be required to have a school reading plan.
