The minister also wants parents' representatives to be "subject to more training on these issues of bullying". "They are also the interlocutors of other parents, families. Training them in these issues makes sense," the minister's entourage told AFP. The minister also wants to "educate to the absence of violence and aggressiveness in the relationship with the other", by building "more dedicated time, from primary school", according to this source.

The fight against bullying, already initiated by former Education Minister Pap Ndiaye, intensified this summer after the emotion aroused by the suicide of a teenager, Lindsay, in the Pas-de-Calais. The suicide of a 15-year-old teenager at his home in Poissy (Yvelines) last week has put the subject back on the front of the media scene on the occasion of this new school year. A new interdepartmental plan is expected to be unveiled on September 25.
