Art teacher stabbed in French classroom; condition described as worrying after 14-year-old attack
A 60-year-old art teacher at La Guicharde secondary school in Sanary-sur-Mer, southern France, was stabbed multiple times by a 14-year-old pupil during class in front of about 20 students. She underwent surgery and is in a stable yet very worrying condition, according to the Education Minister. The student was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder; investigators say there were tensions with the teacher and home issues, with no religious or political motive identified. The school was evacuated, counselling was offered, and this incident feeds ongoing concerns about violence against educators in France and calls for stronger protections.
