New school year, new health protocol.
Jean-Michel Blanquer detailed on Franceinfo, this Wednesday morning, what will be the health protocol in schools at the start of the school year.
Only non-vaccinated middle and high school students will have to take distance education if a case of Covid-19 is detected in their class from the start of the school year, announced the Minister of National Education.
"In secondary school, only unvaccinated students will be ousted and will have to follow distance education," the others will be able to follow face-to-face lessons, explained Jean-Michel Blanquer.
Primary classes would close from the first positive case.
The health protocol for 2021-2022 was published Wednesday morning on the National Education website and includes "four scenarios according to four degrees of circulation of the virus", explained Jean-Michel Blanquer. "In the lightest scenario, you no longer have a mask in primary school, I fear that it will not be this scenario at the start of the school year", he said, specifying that "it remains our compass to keep the school system open ”.
The Minister of National Education has also again rejected the idea of imposing a health pass to enter school and compulsory vaccination for teachers, as it is for certain professions.
“At this stage, it doesn't seem essential to us.
The percentage of teachers getting vaccinated is very important, I think it has exceeded 80%, ”he said.
To move towards a maximum vaccination rate in secondary education, “6,000 to 7,000 vaccination centers” will be deployed from the start of the school year “in or next to” establishments.
