a teachers’ union requests the postponement of the start of the school year by one week

INTERVIEW

While the mask will become systematic in business in all closed and shared spaces, as announced by the Minister of Labor on Tuesday, the noose is much less tight at National Education for the next school year … In any case, if we are to believe the protocol adopted last month by the government. In theory: no more social distancing, no more compulsory masks for kindergarten teachers. But for the Secretary General of the SNUipp-FSU, Guislaine David, it will inevitably be necessary to return to stricter rules. At the microphone of Europe 1, she even asks for the postponement of the start of the school year for a few days.

“Prepare for a peaceful return”

“We are asking to postpone the start of the school year, so that teachers can have several days of pre-entry in the week of August 31, to be able to prepare for this re-entry which is not normal but under Covid. Ideally, we would need the week of the 31st to be able to prepare for a peaceful return the following week, “asks the Secretary General, who would therefore like a new opinion from the Scientific Council.

“We want to be guided by the Scientific Council, but we also need the ministry to position itself. And we need to discuss the conditions under which certain schools will have to resume, because there are places where the virus circulates more easily , and where it will take a little more stringent measures, “she recalls.

She therefore hopes for a return from the ministry in order to organize the start of the school year and to know a little more about the way in which “teachers and parents will be informed … All this, we do not currently know”, deplores finally Guislaine David.
