‘Rethink national service’
Student groups have called on President Emmanuel Macron to rethink plans for mandatory national service for up to 800,000 18 to 21-year-olds.

The associations say the proposals are full of “inconsistencies” and condemn the “binding” nature of the government’s universal national service project as well as its “demagogic” logic.
The calls came after a committee appointed by Prime Minister Edouard Philippe submitted its proposals, which were a campaign promise of President Macron.
Under the plans, students aged between 15 and 18 would have to complete a month’s service.
This could be followed by a further three to six months of voluntary service before the age of 25. On completing stages of the course, young people could be entitled to certain privileges, such as lower costs for a driving licence.
