The Ministry of National Education and Youth, or simply Ministry of National Education, as the title has changed several times in the course of the Fifth Republic, is the cabinet member in the Government of France who oversees the country's public educational system and supervises agreements and authorisations for private teaching organisations.
The ministry's headquarters is located in the 18th century Hôtel de Rochechouart on the Rue de Grenelle in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. As education is France's largest employment domain, the ministry directs the work of more than half of the state civil servants. The position is thereore traditionally a strategic one.
After the 2024 French legislative election, Anne Genetet was appointed Minister of National Education on 21 September 2024. She was succeeded by Élisabeth Borne from December 2024 to October 2025 in the Bayrou government and the first Lecornu government. On 12 October 2025, Édouard Geffray, former Director-General of the ministry, took the office in the second Lecornu government.
