: Capitals should be used in the English version and the French should remain as the first answer. It is a specific term, with specific meaning. Footnote or brackets etc for an explanation if necessary.

Note from asker:
| I only knew "numen" as the Latin term for "divinity", or a "divine presence", which is why I posted the query. I suppose it's a bit like the CIF in Spain which is pronounced "thief" and always makes me do a double take... |

: So the French government sees education personnel as divine. I'll have to remember that.
