While the Minister of National Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, announced Thursday, November 5, that the health protocol in high schools would be strengthened and remote courses authorized at 50% for each student, the National Union of Teachings of the second degree (SNES-FU) declared to maintain its call to strike so that the establishment of this operation in half-groups is extended to colleges, and not only reserved for high schools.

Last Thursday, several primary and secondary unions mobilized around the hashtag “
Balance your protocol
”, launching an inter-union appeal for a “health strike” on Tuesday, November 10.
This call followed the mobilizations of high school students throughout France who, since the return from the All Saints holidays on November 2, have blocked the entrance to their establishments to denounce health measures deemed insufficient.
Faced with the concerns of students and teachers, the Minister of Education has accepted that high schools can set up distance education.
A measure that should be extended to schools and colleges according to several unions.

"
The college is still forgotten,
" lamented at the microphone of France Info the deputy secretary general of SNES-FU Sophie Venetitay.
“
In college, it seems to me that we must also switch to a half-group operation because there are also classes of 28 to 30 students.
We therefore maintain the call for a strike for Tuesday, especially for establishments where sanitary conditions have still not been met despite the minister's announcements
, ”said the unionist.
