<br/><br/> ‪In this interview with the historian Anne-Marie Chartier, Catherine Moisan looks back on her professional career, from her participation in Alain Savary’s cabinet to the Directorate of Evaluation, Forecasting and Performance (in French: DEPP). The highlights of her career in relation to priority education are contextualised and analysed. The interview is structured along four main axes: the key moments of steering and management of the dossier in the Savary, Jospin and Royal cabinets, the obstacles encountered, the strategy ; the missions and influence of the “Inspection general“ on the decision-making process; the role of the DEPP and the dissemination of knowledge to politicians and field actors; the influence of research work, essentially sociological, on the priorities and decisions of ministers.‪
