Article 30 of the proposed law introduces the idea of "annual mandatory individual interviews" for every child, aimed at identifying any form of violence. This measure is part of a larger effort to address "sexual and gender-based violence against women and children." The interviews would be conducted from the first year of preschool until a child reaches adulthood, and they are included in the section of the law that deals with childhood-related provisions. Before the law was examined, Edouard Geffray, the Minister of National Education, proposed an alternative: an anonymous questionnaire to be given annually to students from the final year of preschool to the final year of high school. Those who wish can choose to leave their names so that trusted adults can contact them. This approach raised questions from the parliamentarians who had originally proposed the law. During a hearing on September 17, general rapporteur Céline Thiébault-Martinez (Socialists) asked for clarification on the "alternative device." The government explained that the questionnaire should be part of "sessions on affective and relational education (EVAR) in primary level and affective and relational education and sexuality (EVARS) in secondary level," which have been part of the school curriculum since the 2025 school year. Edouard Geffray described the questionnaire as a "preparatory process," not a replacement for the interviews. He cited 13,269 reports made by the Ministry of National Education last year regarding sexual and gender-based violence (VSS), stating that the ministry is the "first reporter in France" on such issues. He explained that students who report violence have two choices: remain anonymous and trigger an intervention in class or leave their name to be contacted by trusted adults. He emphasized the importance of making the questionnaires available throughout the year in schools for students who wish to use them. Edouard Geffray gave two main reasons for not implementing universal annual interviews for all students. He said such an exercise "does not seem absolutely obvious to carry out in front of two adults without proper preparation." He also noted the logistical challenges, explaining that 30-minute interviews would require 12 million hours or 7,500 full-time equivalents, and one-hour interviews would double that. He emphasized that the issue is more about staffing than financial resources, noting the lack of a current staffing pool of 15,000 or 7,500 people. The minister acknowledged that the implementation of EVAR and EVARS sessions is "objectively still imperfect." He provided figures: "In the primary level, more than 92% of schools are implementing it, but only two-thirds of children have benefited from the three sessions planned" in the program. The figure is much lower in the secondary level, with only "25% of middle school students and 9% of high school students who had their three sessions last year." During the hearing, the Minister of National Education faced criticism from certain parliamentary groups. Deputy Sarah Legrain (La France insoumise) called the questionnaire "dangerous," arguing that "What victim child will have enough confidence to write their name on a sheet without knowing who will read their answer or what will happen afterwards?" She asked Edouard Geffray if he would accept "removing this questionnaire in the face of all the criticisms," to which he answered no, stating that the goal is to work on it with Ciivise, professionals, and associations. It remains to be seen what will be adopted. The rapporteur for this part of the text, Erwan Balanant (Les Démocrates), summarized that there is a "mutual will to truly transform what school is," noting the "difficulty" of recruiting 15,000 people "highly trained in collecting speech." He added that "This cannot be done overnight." For now, 31 amendments have been submitted by the deputies for examination in the committee on this article 30.
