On Monday 2 November, the French educational system will commemorate the attack on the teacher Samuel Paty that was also an attack on free and safe education. Last Friday, the Dutch Ministers of Education Van Engelshoven and Slob called on schools to commemorate the murder and to speak out in favour of freedom of speech. TU Delft is responding to this call and, out of solidarity, will fly the flag at half mast on Monday.


Pieter Duisenberg, President of the Association of Universities, said that “The horrific murder of Samuel Paty unfortunately shows once again that we must continue to emphasise the enormous importance of freedom of expression. It is a great common good, especially in education, and we must all continue to stand up for it. Teachers worldwide must be able to do their job without fear or pressure.”
