Falling pupil numbers have put the future of some classes at a French school at risk, so parents have thought outside the box.




Fifteen sheep have been registered at a French primary school as part of a novel bid to save classes at risk of closure.

Jules-Ferry in Crets en Belledonne, a small town of less than 4,000 people at the foot of the Alps, had been told that it would have to scale back its lessons because of falling pupil numbers.

There are only 261 children at the school - but now they have been joined by more than a dozen sheep in a symbolic move to tackle what parents have described as a "miserable situation".

Sheep have been enrolled to keep class open.



Children were involved in a welcome ceremony for their new classmates. Pic: France Bleu
The farm animals were provided by a local herder, Michel Girerd, who with the help of his dog escorted the new pupils along to the school to see them officially signed up with their birth certificates.

Among the names added to the register during a ceremony watched by parents, teachers and children were Baa-bete and Saute-Mouton

Perhaps register the almanjeris first. Its their not being in school that leaves them tendering cattle.

Perhaps birth control would have avoided them altogether

Birth control for illiterates? I doubt kunu stops people getting pregnant.

Perhaps speak to their elites, and religious leaders. It is their intolerance for Western Education that prevents these parents from trusting the educational system.
