Concerning the 6 damaged schools in the Charleroi region, certain primary school pupils had to be relocated during the renovation work. Two 1st and 2nd primary classes were hosted in the Marcinelle relaxation center. However, most students were able to return to their classes this morning.
“We’re here because there was a fire at the school. We don’t want it to spread and there are odors“This is how young Victor explains the situation. 45 students from his school were relocated to the Marcinelle recreation center for two to three weeks while the work was carried out.”It scared me a little“, says a student.
There is material damage but above all incomprehension and anger. The staff members of the 6 schools concerned benefited from psychological assistance from the mobile teams of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. “We must move on to something else very quickly so that the children do not have any following-effects.“, says Edith Canon, director of the Hublinbu school.
Today we must erase the traces and repair the damage to allow children to return to school peacefully. “There were traces of soot, broken tiles“, indicates Sandrine Wiesemes, director of the Petits Loups school. “And on a wall, there was a tag ‘No Evras’.“

After 3 days of closure, a nursery school located in Couillet was able to welcome its 20 students once more today. “We took the time and did it gently“, explains Céline Rousseaux, nursery school teacher. “I didn’t want to force the children who hadn’t heard or seen anything. But I listened to those who didn’t understand and who asked me who were the bad guys who damaged their school.”
Regarding the investigation, the Charleroi public prosecutor’s office still refuses to comment.
