The Minister of Education Nicole Belloubet announced this Friday, March 29, the creation of a national
“mobile school force”
which could be sent to educational establishments in the event of
“difficulties”
in terms of security.
“I will deploy a mobile school force which will be national and which can be deployed in establishments which are experiencing difficulties”
, indicated the minister.
“This school force, which will allow establishments which are in difficulty to take charge of the difficulty for a fairly long time, is intended to reassure teachers and educational teams
,” she added, during a trip to a vocational high school in Bordeaux whose staff have recently been the subject of
“threats”
.
“Projected throughout the territory within 48 hours”
Questioned by AFP, the minister's entourage specified that this team,
“made up of around twenty National Education agents”
, would be
“set up at the start of the 2024 school year”
.
“In the event of an acute crisis, it can be projected throughout the territory within 48 hours when local resources require additional support
,” we added. It
“will have a security mission inside the establishment, calming and education”
. Schools can already call on
“mobile security teams”
, a system created in 2009 and which depends on the rectorates.
The State will systematically become a civil party when a complaint is filed
Stressing that she also wanted to guarantee
"legal certainty"

messaging in all digital work spaces (ENT) of educational establishments, after threats of attacks against middle and high schools in recent days.
