Ferry advocates teaching a uniform foundation of knowledge and skills as a necessary counterbalance to the ever-increasing degree of specialisation and individualisation. One of the key measures which Ferry initiated in office was his plan to tackle the poor writing and reading skills of adolescents. He is now working in academia and research, and has become one of France’s most influential intellectuals. He frequently expresses his opinions in the media, on everyday events and social policy developments. He has written many books about philosophy and society.
