After a five-week break due to riots, the start of the school year took place this Monday, June 17, for some of the region’s students. A return to normality for children.
In Dumbéa, New Caledonia, 20 primary schools reopened their doors this Monday, June 17. Some schools have been preserved by the damage. Back to school seems almost classic. Smiles appear on the faces of teachers, parents and students. Once the students are settled in the classes, this Monday, June 17, a debate space opens to discuss these last five weeks. Students speak out to talk about the violence and the fear they sometimes feel. The joy of meeting again is shared.
The start of the school year will be later in order to better prepare for the arrival of high school students. Teachers, technicians and administrative staff meet on Monday June 17 to discuss the return of students to establishments.
