French first lady Brigitte Macron, a career-long teacher who has kept a low public profile, is set to return to the classroom in a new adult training college for school drop-outs.
The school in the Clichy-sous-Bois suburb in northeast Paris will open its doors in September along with another college near Valence in southeast France, offering courses to around 50 school dropouts aged 25-30 every year. "We know they need to know the four operations in maths, to know how to write French, to express themselves, to construct arguments in a written text. I want to give them a taste for literature," she added.
A recent book about her by a French writer entitled"He was just 17" -- the second tome devoted to the first lady in less than a year -- said she had struggled with the constraints of her new public role. "She used to go out. She saw more what was the reality of France," Collomb said in an interview on Europe 1 radio last week.
