The administrative court of Lille must render its decision this Monday on the summary appeal filed by the Averroès Muslim high school. The prefect of the North terminated the contract linking the establishment to the State, due to teaching deemed "contrary to the values of the Republic" Without public subsidies, this high school, which has 400 students and 35 teachers, will no longer be able to operate.
Despite the threat of a removal of public subsidies which, according to the school's lawyer, would constitute a death sentence, the leaders of the school say they are calm.
