Jean Berthoin (January 12, 1895 in Enghien-les-Bains, Val-d'Oise – February 25, 1979 in Paris) was a French politician. As Minister of National Education under Charles de Gaulle, he instituted a policy of compulsory education for all children, both French and foreign citizens, until the age of sixteen, building on the earlier reforms of 1936.[1] Implemented in 1959, this was known as the Berthoin Ordinance.[2] He also suggested that the Baccalauréat be abolished, prompting a significant backlash in the Parisian press.[3]
Prior to World War II, Berthoin had been the director of national security (Sûreté) in the French Interior Ministry.[4]
