法国总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科努周二宣布，鉴于学生们的抗议活动及暴力事件频发，本周末将暂停高中课程，以便营造“内部民主讨论的空间”。
French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu announced Tuesday that high school classes will be suspended toward the end of the week to provide “a time for internal democracy” amid student mobilizations and violence.
勒科努强调，对于暴力行为“绝不容忍”，并呼吁政界人士与遭受暴力影响的教育工作者团结一致。
Lecornu said there could be “no room for tolerance for violence” and urged the political class to “stand together” with public servants affected by the violence.
他指出：“在一个运转良好的民主社会中，包括未成年人在内的每位公民都需承担相应责任。烧毁高中并不能改善学校设施状况，伤害教师也无法提高教师招聘率。”
“In a functioning democracy, individual responsibility of individuals, citizens, including minors, exists,” said Lecornu. “Burning down a high school does not improve the condition of high school buildings.”“Lynching a teacher does not improve the teacher replacement rate,” he said.
此次学生运动始于9月下旬，起因是师资短缺、教室拥挤以及学校设施落后。此后，抗议活动逐渐蔓延至法国多个城市。
The student-led movement began in late September because of complaints about staff shortages, overcrowded classrooms and inadequate school facilities. Blockades and demonstrations have since spread to schools in several French cities.
据官方统计，这场原本以和平为主的运动中也出现了纵火、破坏公物以及袭击教师与警察等暴力行为。
The largely peaceful movement has seen violent incidents, including fires, property damage and attacks on staff and police, according to authorities.
针对在抗议中受伤的学生，勒科努回应称：“意外事件确实可能发生。”他同时对“警察暴力”这一说法提出批评，强调任何意外事件都应接受行政与司法调查，必须追究责任并给予人文关怀。
Lecornu addressed high school students who have been injured by security forces during the mobilizations. “Can accidents happen? The answer is yes,” he said, criticizing the term “police violence.”“Where there are accidents, there must be administrative and judicial investigations. There must be accountability and empathy,” said Lecornu.
勒科努形容当前局势为“数十年来法国教育系统遭受的最严重冲击”，称“极端暴力行为已侵入高中校园”，并强调让暴力行为常态化是不可接受的。他最后强调：“法律必将公正执行。”
He described the situation as “the heaviest toll in decades in the national education system.”Lecornu said “ultraviolence has knocked on the door of these high schools” and described the “normalization of violence” as unacceptable. “Justice will have to take its course,” he added.
