60. I've already explained it
Other religions in France have made accommodations to secular culture in the public schools. Islam will be no exception, especially where devoting half your head to a religious garment is concerned.

Public facilities will not allow staff and students to create a peer-pressure environment for the dominant religion in the neighborhood, and so remain a relatively safe space for women. So social service agencies, like hospitals and schools, will indeed help and thank you for mentioning that. It is not a 'solution', it is a start. What they will not do is go into the home simply looking for offenses.
