The Ministry of National Education confirmed it in early August: the health protocol in schools will be significantly reduced for the start of September. In the new document, physical distancing is no longer required. On the other hand, wearing a mask is compulsory for over 11s, except for kindergarten teachers.
But will this protocol be re-evaluated again as Élisabeth Borne, the Minister of Labor, announced on Tuesday the compulsory wearing of a mask in all companies ?
“Prepare for a peaceful return”
In any case, this is what Guislaine David, the general secretary of the SNUipp-FSU teachers’ union, wants. She even asks to postpone the start of the school year for a few days so that the teachers can prepare it as well as possible.
“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, it is We would need the week of the 31st to be able to prepare for a peaceful return the following week, “she emphasizes toEurope 1.
“A little stricter measures”
Guislaine David is also asking for a new opinion from the Scientific Council on the issue. “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 a little more stringent measures will have to be taken. “
