Prime Minister Jean Castex announced Monday, December 6 the transition from level 2 to level 3 of the Covid-19 protocol in primary schools. The mask becomes compulsory everywhere, even in the yard, it is recommended to avoid crossing paths in the canteen and the sport in the gymnasiums is done in a calm way with mask and barrier gestures. Will these measures be sufficient to curb the epidemic, which is exploding in children?
“Yes, that will obviously help to manage the situation, which we have been doing from the start, replies Jean-Michel Blanquer on RTL. Can’t say there’s an explosion, the word is too loud. There is an incidence rate which is increasing (…) but it is quite simply because we are doing more tests “.
“What has exploded is the number of tests made for children, and of course we remain very vigilant, insists the Minister of National Education. But all this concerns primary school, since with regard to secondary education, the fact that children are now nearly 80% vaccinated allows us to continue to drive things in the same way “.
School is serious
Jean-Michel Blanquer
“For me, it is very important that children go to school, also insists Jean-Michel Blanquer. School is not an adjustment variable (…) If we made compulsory education at three years old, for example, it was to send a message about the fact that nursery school was going there every day, at all the scheduled hours. Because school is serious if you allow me the expression. School is good for children“.
