The “envisaged” candidate for the presidential election Christiane Taubira denounced Friday the “considerable failures” of the Ministry of Education in the management of the pandemic, while the EELV contender Yannick Jadot described the minister Jean-Michel Blanquer of ” ball for public school “. “There are obviously considerable failings on the part of the Ministry of National Education in the management of this pandemic”, declared the former minister after a visit to an elementary school in Carrières-sous-Poissy (Yvelines).
Christiane Taubira deplored the difficulties for teachers “linked to unquestionably erratic and extremely shifting health protocols” put in place by the executive in the face of the rise of the Omicron variant. “A level has been crossed when the protocol was not published on the National Education website. (..) This indicates a state of mind which consists in privatizing public power”, she added , referring to the disclosure of the new health instructions by the Minister of National Education Jean-Michel Blanquer in a paid article on the Parisian website.
“Two years before providing surgical masks and not FFP2 to teachers”
“When self-tests are available, they are essential and when there is a shortage, they are not necessary,” pointed out the “envisaged” candidate for the presidential election. “The ministry took two years before providing surgical masks (FFP1, Editor’s note) and not FFP2 to teachers”, also recalled Christiane Taubira, evoking an “indisputable negligence vis-à-vis the staff” and rules “dictated by the shortage “. However, she did not wish to make new proposals on this subject, not wishing to “replace in a completely theoretical way a responsibility which has effects on the daily life of millions of people in this country”.
“We have a minister who has become a drag for public schools,” for his part asserted the candidate EELV in the presidential election Yannick Jadot during his greetings to the press. “He prefers media blows to transparent information from all educational staff, parents and children,” criticized the ecologist, denouncing a minister who “has been going from controversy to controversy for years”. The Snuipp-FSU, the first primary teachers’ union, which denounces “an indescribable mess” because of the epidemic and the SE-Unsa for schools but also colleges and high schools, on Friday launched a call for a national strike for Thursday, January 13.
The number of closed classes linked to Covid-19 has exploded to stand at 9,202, the highest level since spring 2021, the Ministry of National Education announced Thursday.
