Overview

  • A 14-year-old student fatally stabbed a 31-year-old school supervisor during a gendarme-led bag check at Collège Françoise-Dolto in Nogent, France.
  • Authorities say the teenager had no prior disciplinary record and served as an anti-bullying ambassador at the school.
  • Prime Minister François Bayrou has called for intensified bag checks and installation of security airlocks to strengthen safeguards at school entrances.
  • Critics including Left MP Manon Aubry and police unions warn that entry gates could create dangerous crowding and fail to stop weapons from being thrown over fences.
  • Education union leaders and ministers report a 15 percent rise in student knife incidents last year and emphasize the need for expanded school-based mental health support.
