France’s government ministries are failing to do enough to fight racism and discrimination and in some cases they are making matters worse, a new report suggested on Monday.

The study, which was carried out by the think tank “Republic and Diversity” with the cooperation of various rights groups, scored each ministry on its efforts made to fight racial discrimination over the last year.

Ministries were also judged on whether they had implemented policies promised by President François Hollande in his election manifesto.

The average score handed out was a meager three out of ten, or as a teacher might put it in an end-of-year report: “Poor, could do a lot better”.
