At 8 p.m., on the occasion of yet another speech against the backdrop of a health crisis, the Head of State confirmed that schools will all be closed from Friday evening, three weeks for some of them.
The first week, from Tuesday to Friday (Monday being a public holiday), the lessons will be for all at a distance, before two weeks of vacation for all the students.
From April 26, nursery and primary school students will resume face-to-face lessons, middle school and high school students returning in distance mode, before their return to class on May 3, with adapted gauges.

However, this mother is fortunate to be able to tackle these school closures without major fear.
"I have a particular thought for certain families who will encounter difficulties in accompanying their children within the framework of the school at home", slips Alida.
For this mom, impossible to telecommute
If she understands the decision to close schools, Rebiha wonders about the days of her daughters, currently in 6th and second in a college and high school in the Alfortville area.
