History
History
By 2015 the French government and the Sociedad Francesa de Enseñanza engaged in a political conflict regarding the operation of the school. The French Ambassador, Sylvain Itte, sent a letter to parents stating that France may discontinue support of the school on 1 August 2015. If the French government decided to sever its relationship, it would take control of the building and expel the school from it, as well as end its three million euro support. The Uruguayan government became involved, trying to establish a truce between the parties. The Uruguayan government directly contacted the French embassy, and Uruguayan Minister of Education Juan Pedro Mir established contact with SFE president Bernardo Supervielle. The SFE and the French government reached an agreement, keeping the relationship intact. On the 6th of October 2017, the school became 120 years old.
