In middle and high schools, the Ministry of National Education draws up a worrying assessment.
Violence is particularly concentrated in middle school.
Three out of four reports in secondary education come from middle schools and the number of serious incidents in these establishments is increasing.
In one year, they went from 13.5 to nearly 16 per 1,000 students.
There are of course cases of physical violence, serious fights between students, teachers being attacked... But most of the reports, at 43%, concern verbal violence from students who insult their teachers or their comrades.
