The teachers' union, SE-Unsa Saint-Martin, met the Vice-Rector of the Northern Islands Michel Sanz and the Rector Sylvie Gangloff-Ziegler.
“First of all, we would like to emphasize that the Rector was attentive, eager to understand the difficulties and the specificities of our island that she is discovering,” explains SE-UNSA Saint Martin representative Jérémie Huot. The health protocol was discussed and the union asked for a protocol more specific to the northern islands "since the heat and humidity will make wearing the mask particularly difficult in this cyclonic period, in rooms where the temperature is often around 35 degrees . We also alerted to the urgent need to find a school climate close to normal after months of blackouts and dropping out. many students ”.
Union representatives say they are very worried about the social fragility of many homes, and above all want "all students to find their way back to school in the best possible conditions".
With regard to border control, the Se Unsa union has a very strong opinion: “the press release from the prefecture of Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy of August 28 indicates that students living in Sint Maarten will be deprived of a return to school. continue distance education. This is unacceptable. By what right does the sub-prefect deprive these students of a new school year? By what right to penalize children and parents only because they have chosen to live in Sint Maarten?
We demand the free movement of schoolchildren, college students, high school students and their parents on this island. One island, no offense to the sub-prefect ”. (Editor's note: Sylvie Feucher is Deputy Prefect). The union continues: “we recall that access to education is a right. It is time for the educational community to find a calm climate conducive to learning. It is the future of Saint-Martin that is at stake. We want the State's educational policy to respond concretely to these issues of educational and social justice ”.
