A woman recruited as an elementary school teacher this summer was actually a usurper. In the past, she had already managed to practice the profession of doctor, without however having the slightest diploma required.

Fake doctor in 2020, and now fake teacher: Samantha Avril, 38, has been teaching children in CP and of CE1, without having the necessary diploma and while she has a mention in her criminal record. She had been recruited as a contractor. Parents are surprised. “How was the recruitment done?“, asks a mother. It was through an Internet search that parents discovered the usurping past of the new mistress of their children.

At the same time, the academic inspectorate learned that the young woman had been sentenced. Before being recruited, she had however been received by the services of the rectorate. Two years ago, Samantha Avril worked as a general practitioner in a health center for four months. Again, she had crossed all the safeguards, and fooled the Council of the order by providing a false diploma. Suffering from psychiatric disorders, Samantha Avril is prosecuted for illegal practice of medicine, involuntary injuries and endangering the lives of others.
