In a statement released on Friday, October 2, in the evening, the rectorate provided an update regarding high schools in the Aix-Marseille academy. The prefect and the rector expressed full support for all educational teams amid mobilizations affecting several schools. They emphasized that it is unacceptable for public agents, who are committed to serving their students, to be exposed to violence while carrying out their duties. Serious incidents have been reported in recent days around and within certain schools. These incidents have raised concerns about the safety of students, teachers, and staff. The authorities called for responsibility and respect from everyone, stating that students must be able to express their concerns and demands, but this expression must occur "within a democratic, peaceful framework that respects people and property." In this spirit, the rector met with the vice-president of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur regional council in charge of high schools, along with the student representatives from the Academic Council for High School Life (CAVL). These discussions aimed to address the concerns of students and staff while ensuring the continuity of education. Further meetings are planned at the academic and local levels to provide concrete responses. The priority remains ensuring the safety of students and staff. "Where necessary, distance learning will continue at the beginning of next week," the authorities stated. This decision highlights the commitment to maintaining educational continuity while addressing the current challenges faced by schools in the region.
