“Unannounced surveys in school bags” will be done since spring in the battle, National Education Minister Elizabeth Born announced today.
These unexpected investigations will be carried out with “class forces, since this action does not fit into the responsibilities of the teaching staff,” the minister said, expressing her concern about “a much more extensive use of sharp weapons” by young people.
In early February, a 17 -year -old high school student was severely injured by a sharp weapon in his school’s backyard in the Banier, near Paris.
Born reiterated its intention to modify the educational code so that, if it is found to have a sharp possession within a school institution, the student who holds it “will be systematically led to a disciplinary council”.
So far, “this has been dependent on the appreciation of the head of the institution,” he recalled.
Also, the infringement will be “systematically” highlighted by the prosecutor.
Before the winter holidays, which began last Saturday in the Paris District, more than 20 high schools and high schools of the Seine-Sen-Deni apartment, one of the poorest of France, were under the surveillance of 100 police officers who developed to “Prevent the repetition of acts of violence” near school institutions, after a series of incidents.
