Roussel is running for the 2022 presidential election and is currently polling with only about 4% support, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/europe-poll-of-polls\/france\/\">according<\/a> to Politico.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I become President of the Republic, all homework will be done at school and not at home,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cOn the eve of school holidays, I believe that I am not alone in thinking that it would be a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">Si je deviens Pr\u00e9sident de la R\u00e9publique, tous les devoirs seront faits \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole et pas \u00e0 la maison.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c0 la veille de vacances scolaires, je crois que je ne suis pas seul \u00e0 penser que ce serait une bonne chose \ud83d\ude09 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9CX2EJ8JPg\">pic.twitter.com\/9CX2EJ8JPg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Fabien Roussel (@Fabien_Roussel) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Fabien_Roussel\/status\/1494743768125353989?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 18, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYou will be free,\u201d the candidate said in the video, to which voters clapped.&nbsp;\u201cYou\u2019ll be able to play sports; you\u2019ll be able to go to the theater; you can go see your friends; you can see your parents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>France\u2019s election will take place on April 10, as candidates face off against incumbent President Emmanuel Macron. Roussel, 52, <a href=\"https:\/\/lanternwrist.net\/video-education-pcf-candidate-fabien-roussel-wants-homework-to-be-done-at-school-and-fewer-students-per-class\">claimed<\/a> on France public radio last month the policy of abolishing homework is an issue related to \u201csocial equality,\u201d since \u201csome [students] are in large families or do not have parents who can help them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a project that I want to build with the educational teams, with the teachers,\u201d he also said on the radio station. \u201cWe need to train 90,000 teachers, on a mandate, to be able to meet this need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Roussel seems to have little chance at capturing the French presidency, given his polling numbers, Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leparisien.fr\/politique\/le-ministre-de-l-education-veut-mettre-fin-aux-devoirs-a-la-maison-26-05-2017-6986628.php\">previously<\/a> agreed with the candidate\u2019s \u201csocial equality\u201d homework cancelling sentiment. Blanquer said in a 2017 speech that the policy is aimed at \u201creducing inequalities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat means that there is homework, but it\u2019s not meant to be done at home but rather in the establishment, so as to create a form of family tranquility on these subjects, to reduce the inequalities that may exist between families and to have happy family time,\u201d Blanquer said.<\/p>\n<p>Further, former French President Fran\u00e7ois Hollande, who served from 2012 to 2017, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2012\/12\/02\/166193594\/pencils-down-french-plan-would-end-homework#:~:text=In%20the%20name%20of%20equality,is%20supposed%20to%20help%20disagree.\">argued<\/a> in favor of getting rid of homework. The proposal ultimately failed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEducation is priority,\u201d the former president said at Sorbonne University in Paris in 2012. \u201cAn education program is, by definition, a societal program. Work should be done at school, rather than at home.\u201d The French embassy claimed at the time that Hollande\u2019s move would \u201cestablish equal opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-p8ym73\"><i>Send story tips to Gabe Kaminsky at&nbsp;<\/i><a href=\"mailto:gekaminsky@protonmail.com\"><i>gekaminsky@protonmail.com<\/i><\/a><i>.
