What is the finding?
“For three years, the number of serious incidents reported in our schools has doubled. This is considerable. We are also seeing a rejuvenation of violence, with an increase in incidents in primary schools,” says the minister first. “In many middle and high schools, to raise the level, we must start by restoring order. » According to Anne Genetet, “one in two teachers say they have already been challenged in their teaching. » As an example, she explains that “in mathematics, the notion of infinity is sometimes contested, on the grounds that only God is infinite… Not to mention grade disputes, which are more and more frequent. »
What are the measures announced?
“It is the authority of the teacher that must be restored. Professors need to know that the institution supports them. […] I don’t want to wait for a serious incident to act,” explains Anne Genetet to Le Figaro. The minister announces that a “accompaniment and support center for staff victims of violence” will be set up in each rectorate, with also a “school climate referent” in each department.
