A PE teacher at the Jean-Jaurès high school in Montreuil was slapped in the face by a student on Tuesday November 5 following an argument about her clothing, BFMTV has learned. According to our information, the student was wearing an abaya, an item of clothing that has been banned in public educational institutions since September 2023.

The student is said to have explained to the teacher that her clothing had been authorised by the CPE (Conseiller Principal d’Éducation). However, the teacher is said to have rejected this justification and asked her to change her clothes. The girl then spat at the teacher and insulted her before slapping her in the face.

According to our information, a report was made to the police station in Montreuil and the teacher was accompanied by school staff when the report was made. The Créteil Academy has offered the teacher, who is on sabbatical, personal protection and psychological counselling.

Measures have been taken against the pupil to protect the teaching staff. She is not allowed to return to school and must await the decision of the disciplinary committee, which will be convened shortly. The Deputy Academic Director is supervising the measure.  (…) BFMTV
