A national tribute this Monday, October 14 in middle and high schools for honor and maintain the memory of Samuel Paty and Dominique Bernard. On October 16, 2020, then on October 13, 2023, these two teachers were murdered, victims of Islamist terrorism.
Paying tribute to these teachers allows us to transmit the values they embodied explains the Ministry of Education. Each establishment has a hand in the organization of this solemn time of reflection.
Fabienne Dubourg is the secretary for the Nantes academy of SNPDEN, the National Union of National Education Management Personnel: “This tribute varies greatly from one establishment to another, some will not do anything because they have planned other forms of action at other times with thematic weeks. It depends on the size of the the establishment, the climate also inside. Some high schools prefer not to group students together in the courtyard to avoid tensions around questions of secularism. We still have a lot of concerns even if our academy is not the most impacted. , for example around the wearing of the abaya, secularism remains a subject in tension.
