Month: September 2018

The Public Buildings Maintenance Service has been busy over the summer period upgrading the security of Monaco’s 13 schools and 5 crèches.

The work has been undertaken as part of the regular maintenance undertaken when the children and staff are absent.

This year, the focus has been on installing opaque burglar-resistant films to doors and windows, and fitting burglar alarms where appropriate.

Another focus has been on improving energy savings, with the gradual installation of LED lighting and energy meters, plus additional insulation.

By the end of November, 2018, nearly 100 photovoltaic panel modules will be installed on the roof of the École des Révoires. This clean energy will be used in the school and will cover up to 20 percent of its needs.

Patrice Cellario, Minister of the Interior, has presented the main themes of the new school year while speaking alongside Isabelle Bonnal, Director of National Education, in the new school in the Stella building on Tuesday, September 4.

He said that education remains a priority for the Prince’s Government, “anxious to prepare young people for their future as adults and to take their places in the outside world.”

Among changes planned are adding second-year programmes for the new baccalaureate which will be introduced in 2021. More emphasis will be placed on Monaco’s history and teacher training will be strengthened “on all levels.”

Computer coding and digital transition will also be enhanced, and more emphasis will be placed on sports provision. A new playing field, to be named after Hereditary Prince Jacques will be inaugurated at Devens, with the facility earmarked for the use of football and rugby associations.

A total of 5.749 students, supervised by 846 staff, including 509 teachers, will return to school on Monday, September 10.

As the dust settles from Sunday night’s home defeat against Olympique Marseille, a certain amount of concern is settling in for Monaco’s soccer fans. The late goal from former Monaco player Valère Germain meant that the Monegasques have won only a single game out of four games in the new season of French Ligue 1.

While Germain’s 89th minute header sealed Monaco’s fate, this was all the more bitter because the Monegasques had been ahead almost unexpectedly, two to one, in the 54th minute after a goal from Falcao.

Rudi Garcia, OM’s coach, was eager to play up the scale of his team’s victory: “It’s a great win against a team that plays in the Champions League and wants to finish on the podium.”

Yuri Tielemans, mid-fielder at AS Monaco, underlined how much needs to be done:

“Four points in four games, it’s not enough, we have to get back to work, we have a young group, a lot of new players, when we play as a team, it’s easier. It’s going to be difficult, but we have to do better. get there.”

Certainly the home loss will do nothing to raise Monaco’s morale as the Champions League starts in earnest on September 18. Monaco captain Radamel Falcao had approached Sunday’s Ligue 1 clash with Marseille as a practice run for Champions League qualification.

With seven points from four games, Marseille have pushed Monaco out of second place and trail leaders Paris Saint Germain, who beat Nimes 4-2 on Saturday, by five points.
