Some 179 incidents of disruption were registered during the minute’s silence held in French middle schools and high schools on 16 October in memory of Dominique Bernard and Samuel Paty.
On Thursday, the Ministry of Education announced 454 pupils had been excluded — 85 were permanent, 322 were temporary and 47 were suspended.
