我们今天的会见有特殊的意义。自总理若斯潘赋予我指导教育的发展、改造并使之更加公正、有效之使命以来,已经1年了。我上任时果断提出了初中问题,并决定以其复杂性和整体性出发解决它。10年来,虽然采取了大量的往往看似中肯的措施,却未能使初中重新获得完成其使命的手段。 Our meeting today has special significance. It has been one year since Prime Minister Jospin conferred me a mission to guide the development of education, make reform and make it more just and effective. As I took office, I resolutely raised the issue of junior high school and decided to solve it with its complexity and integrity. For 10 years, despite the large number of often seemingly accommodating measures it has failed to regain junior secondary access to the means to accomplish its mission.
