list of education ministers of france

This page is a list of French education ministers. The office of Minister of Public Instruction was created in France in 1828. It was usually combined with that of Minister of Public Worship, who dealt with issues related to the Catholic Church, except in instances where the Minister of Public Instruction was a Protestant. In 1932, the office's title was changed to Minister of National Education, although it was briefly changed back in 1940-1941, and was renamed Minister of Education during the Presidency of Valry Giscard d'Estaing (1974-1981)
