establishments will now be able to keep bullies away from school

Mickaël Gauthier fought for a long time to have his son’s stalker changed schools. For several years, Maël, 10, suffered teasing, insults and blows. It took nearly a year and a half to win the case. “I may take him to the shrink every day, the next day if at school he takes blows, insults, the work that is done upstream is useless”he said.

Exclude bullying students

Pap Ndiaye, Minister of National Education and Youth, is now trying to provide an answer to the problem. “As a last resort, when all solutions have been exhausted, at that time, the harassing pupil may be educated in another school, regardless of the parents’ opinion, if the mayor or mayors concerned agree “, he said on RTL, on the morning of Tuesday, April 11. 800,000 to one million children per year are victims of bullying at school, ie 6 to 10% of pupils during their schooling.
