Under what conditions will the students resume their lessons? From college, "the mask must be worn by all students in all enclosed spaces," announced the minister. The protocol established in July could also be subject to adjustment, as the coronavirus epidemic shows strong signs of recovery.
According to Jean-Michel Blanquer, “the protocol drawn up in mid-July provides for all types of situations”.
The masks, provided to the teachers, will be the responsibility of the parents for the pupils, financed in particular with the re-entry allowance, revalued by 100 euros.
