While an investigation by France 2 revealed Tuesday that around 40,000 teachers had not followed up with their students during confinement, the Minister of National Education said this Wednesday, June 10, on RTL that they could be punished.
“People have not lived up to it”
“As in every profession, you have an immense majority of the corporation which is remarkable, but there are of course people who have not been up to par”, said Jean-Michel Blanquer on RTL
“Each school head knows what to expect […]. The real problem is when there is neither presence nor telework “, in the coming weeks. “Someone who does not do their job is punishable”, he explains.
Above all, it pays homage to the teachers
The Minister of National Education, however, above all wanted to pay tribute to the behavior of the several thousand teachers who ensured academic follow-up with their students: “France is one of the countries that has done the best in distance education. “
A bonus ranging from € 300 to € 1,000 will thus be paid to some 65,000 national education personnel.
Many French people on social media also shared messages of support for teachers who followed the students during confinement through the hashtag #MerciLesProfs.
