Abstract

In this book, Laurent Lauforgue, a French mathematician, presents an argument that invites us to reflect on the decadence of the current educational system, referring to the successes and achievements of the education of the past, more specifically the French secular republican schools. There is no doubt that improving education is currently a latent social concern, and so the attractive title and design of this book invite the anxious reader to delve into its critical and, in some cases, controversial arguments.
