A French court ruled in favor of the Averroes school, allowing it to maintain state subsidies despite prior funding cuts over alleged teaching guideline breaches. The court found insufficient evidence to support the local authorities' claims that the school posed a danger to students or had illegal financing. Additionally, inspections had not uncovered any issues with the school's adherence to national education standards. This decision comes as the school faces declining enrollment, dropping from 470 to 290 students since funding was reduced.
"The administrative court in Lille found insufficient proof of 'serious breaches' in education guidelines, stating that funding cuts had undergone procedural irregularities."
"Authorities failed to establish any 'lack of cultural pluralism' or breaches in Muslim ethics classes despite claims of illicit financing and ties to Islamism."
