Each candidate's proposals are taken from their official campaign website (official programme) and from their statements reported by the media we follow (public statement), then sorted into the same themes for everyone. Summaries are automatic, neutral and limited to these sources: no rating, no ranking, no costing. When nothing has been found, the page says so without inventing anything. Method

Gabriel Attal

Renaissance

Proposes reinstating the Choc des savoirs measures, reducing primary school classes to fewer than 20 students, and raising teachers' salaries by €200 net per month, up to €500 mid-career. Defends reinstating a certificate of studies at the start of 6th grade, making the brevet compulsory to advance to seconde, ability grouping in French and mathematics, and strengthened sanctions from primary school onward.
