The Covid-19 is once again having relatively important consequences in National Education.
The number of classes closed due to the pandemic has risen sharply this week.
It reached its highest level since the start of the September school year and stands at 4,048, or 0.8% of the country's classes, announced the Ministry of National Education on Friday.
The previous figure, dating from October 22, before the All Saints holidays, was 1246 closed classes.
Since the start of the school year, the number of closed classes rose to nearly 3,300 on September 16, before gradually declining and then rising slightly at the end of October.
However, this is significantly less than last April, before the schools were closed for several weeks, when the number of closed classes had risen to more than 11,000 (11,272 classes on April 2).
It then came down again (to 5110 at the end of May).
