Thursday, February 6, the academic director of the National Education Services (Dasen) of the Oise presented a draft of the school card at the start of the 2025 school year, following the social committee of departmental administration. In total, 49 class closures and 16 openings were mentioned. Among the closures, there is a class from the school Washingsmall village located a stone’s throw from Beauvais.

In this school, where a hundred students are educated, all levels are represented, from kindergarten to CM2, all scattered in five classes. But as almost everywhere in France, there are fewer and fewer children in the village. “”This desire to close a class is explained, there is a fall in the workforceconcedes Marie-Manuelle Jacques, mayor of Laversines.

A lot of T3, T4 and T5 for rent arrive

But the town hall has a big argument to be made to defend its skin dearly. By the end of 2025, 45 dwellings must emerge from the ground, including six (two T2 and four T4) within three months.
