On Saturday, at the Journée libérale romande co-organized by Le Regard Libre, Olivier Massin, Director of the Institute of Philosophy at the University of Neuchâtel, showed what kind of liberalism it is wise to defend if you value the idea of education. Striking.
Since the start of the crisis, children's and teenagers' screen time has increased significantly. The harmful consequences of excessive screen use have been confirmed by countless studies, despite occasional disagreements within the scientific community. It would therefore be legitimate to take this factor into account in the management of the current health crisis, and more particularly that of education. Analysis.
LONG FORMAT ARTICLE, Robin Parisi | Swiss education is conceived as a system with two main parallel, but mutually permeable, routes. The so-called «vocational» route starts with the famous CFC and can end with ES, Brevets Fédéraux or Diplôme Fédéral diplomas. The second route takes students from Matura, gymnasium or specialized schools to the universities and HES. And yet, as is mainly the case in French-speaking Switzerland, the universities of applied sciences - with the benevolent blessing of the French-speaking cantonal authorities - are monopolizing the privilege of vocational training. Without, however, relinquishing the «university» prestige that the Bologna Process has brought them.
LONG FORM INTERVIEW, Jonas Follonier | He's one of Switzerland's leading politicians in the fight against Islamism. Even if he doesn't like the word «combat» (he prefers the word «cause»), Mohamed Hamdaoui has made it one of his priority themes, making himself a highly committed player in the debate, even if it means over-emotionalizing. His background no doubt has something to do with it: born in the Hoggar, this Tuareg loved a woman who, in the 1980s, was kidnapped by Algerian Islamists because she refused to wear the veil. These sowers of terror beheaded her. The murder in France of Professor Samuel Paty by a radicalized Muslim using the same modus operandi shook him to the core. Interview with a former socialist turned PDC, who doesn't consider Switzerland immune to political Islam.
