Teaching assistant killed in knife attack at school in north-east France
Briefly

In the wake of a tragic incident where a teaching assistant was fatally stabbed by a 15-year-old student during a bag search at a school in Nogent, President Emmanuel Macron condemned the violence as senseless. The 31-year-old victim died in the hospital, prompting expressions of mourning and calls for enhanced safety measures in schools. Education Minister Elisabeth Borne emphasized the need for prevention and recognized the efforts of those who responded to the emergency. The attack raises significant concerns about safety in educational environments as the community grapples with this shocking violence.
While protecting our children, a teaching assistant lost her life, the victim of a senseless wave of violence. The nation is in mourning and the government is mobilised to reduce crime.
I commend the composure and dedication of those who acted to subdue the attacker and protect the students and staff.
The attack shows that nothing can ever be completely secure and that it is prevention that needs to be focused on.
It's impossible to be more vigilant 24 hours a day. We can't say that every student is a danger or a threat, otherwise we'd never get out of bed in the morning.
