The reopening of schools, announced from May 11, will not happen "overnight", and priority can be given "to the most vulnerable groups", said Tuesday April 14, the Minister of Education National, Jean-Michel Blanquer.
"Not all schools will be open on Monday, May 11," said the minister. "We are going to develop a whole methodology" of recovery "which necessarily involves very large adjustments. In May and June it will not be at all as before, it will necessarily be different, ”he warned.
Tackling social inequalities
In his speech Monday evening, Emmanuel Macron announced that nurseries, schools, colleges and high schools would reopen “gradually” from May 11, a decision taken in particular to fight against social inequalities which are widening during confinement.
Jean-Michel Blanquer said he will meet with trade unions from this Tuesday to discuss the health conditions allowing the resumption and define from May 11 « through which stages we go ”.
"The first criterion is first of all social ", He stressed, hinting that the most struggling students could start again. " We must save the students who could go adrift due to confinement » explained the minister. " It is the most fragile audiences that I first have in mind » he insisted.
The gradual recovery « necessarily implies that we are not going to have the same ages which enter at the same time », and « there cannot be large groups In class, also said Blanquer. Thereby, « it is possible that there is a less important hourly load for the students ".
And the protective masks?
Asked if masks would be made available to all students and teachers, he assured that it is "very possible but that's one of the things we will decide over the next two weeks ».
