Immediately enthroned Minister of National Education, Gabriel Attal made the trip to a school destroyed during the riots that followed the death of Nahel, killed by a police officer. On the construction site of the elementary school Bois de l’Étang, in the Yvelines, the first visit of the successor of Pap Ndiaye is not a coincidence.
The 170 children enrolled in this school will be able to follow their return to school normally, temporarily accommodated at the Regional School of the first degree, which the Île-de-France region has made available.
“I wanted to go to an establishment affected by the riots”, thinking of the “families, staff and elected officials traumatized by what happened”, declared the new tenant of rue de Grenelle, appointed Thursday, July 20.
The mother of an elementary school student told AFP that her 10-year-old son “didn’t really like the idea of ??going somewhere else” next school year. “But I explained to him that we could not do otherwise, that his school burned down, that he is not the only one to change schools and that the whole teaching team leaves with him” in the new establishment, detailed this mother, Hounas Nacia.
“All students will have schooling solutions, and what matters to me is that this schooling is stable. You have to put yourself in the shoes of the students and the families” and take into account “school transport time and canteen prices”, he added. The new minister was surrounded by local elected officials, including the senator from Yvelines and president of the Senate, Gérard Larcher (LR), or William Martinet, LFI deputy from Yvelines who questioned him on the priority education networks (REP).
