The 31-year-old college supervisor stabbed to death by a pupil on June 10 in Nogent (Haute-Marne) was made knight of the Legion of Honor posthumously, according to the Official Journal published on Tuesday.
Last week, the Ministry of National Education indicated that it would also receive the title of Commander of the Academic Palms, and the quality of pupil of the nation will be allocated to his child.
The funeral of the young woman, Mélanie, took place last Tuesday in a strict family intimacy in Sarcey, a small village near Nogent where she lived.
The 14 -year -old schoolboy arrested immediately after the facts was indicted for murder aggravated by the occasion that his victim was responsible for a public service mission, and placed in pre -trial detention.
Because of his minority, he faces a 20 -year prison sentence.
The murder took place at the entrance to the Françoise-Dolto college, while gendarmes carried out an unexpected control of the students’ bags, to grasp possible white weapons. A gendarme was injured by hand during the facts.
During his police custody, the suspect told the investigators that he wanted to kill a supervisor, “any”.
This new drama in schools has had a great impact in France, in the political and educational spheres in particular.
