Question 8178 — security of property and people

Summary

Mr. Thierry Tesson alerts the Minister of State, Minister of National Education, Higher Education and Research, to a serious incident that occurred on June 16, 2025 at the Ferdinand-Buisson primary school in Douai (North). That day, an 11-year-old student brought a homemade bladed weapon into the establishment, after physically attacking a teacher and making death threats. The weapon was discovered in the toilet by a nine year old child. These facts take place in a degraded climate: blocking of the school by angry parents, exercise of the right of withdrawal by teachers, generalized feeling of abandonment of the educational community. This is unfortunately not an isolated case. More and more staff and families are reporting an increase in violence in primary schools, although until recently they were perceived as an educational sanctuary. But force is to note that the latter currently appears powerless to prevent, supervise and sanction these abuses, including when they endanger the physical integrity of adults and children. He asks what measures have been taken locally in Douai to ensure the safety of teachers and students. He also asks whether instructions have been given to the academies regarding reporting, immediate response and protection in such cases and what the central administration intends to do to guarantee school safety and whether legislative, if not regulatory, changes are envisaged concerning the care of minors who commit serious violence in schools. He finally asks her if she intends to move away from a form of denial in the face of the evolution of these phenomena which no longer require compassionate speeches, but decisions firm and durable.
