By revealing in the middle of the afternoon this Sunday, January 2, just a few hours before the start of the school year, in an interview with the Parisian, the new health protocol, the Minister of National Education made some teachers’ unions jump.
It was time. It was more than 4 p.m., this Sunday January 2, when The Parisian published on his website the interview in which Jean-Michel Blanquer revealed the new health protocol for schools in order to effectively fight against the Omicron variant, while the return to school takes place the next morning. We learn that now, if there is a positive Covid case in a class, all other students will have to do three tests over four days to stay in school. “When the family does the first test, they will receive two free self-tests at the pharmacy, so that the students can test themselves again at home on D + 2 and D + 4. Parents must certify in writing that the tests have been completed. facts and that they are negative ”, explains the Minister of Education to the newspaper. If the major change concerns the screening of students and teachers, the latter expressed annoyance at the very tight timing of these announcements. “The government has once again decided to play on the nerves of teachers. Fed up ! “, reacted the Parisian branch of SNUipp-FSU on Twitter.
” Véran announces the new protocol in the JDD which will be specified by Blanquer who speaks in Le Parisien. While, discreetly, the ministry modifies the FAQ on its site … Fortunately, this plot information is supplemented by a letter from the rector … “, sums up with irony the same account in a message spotted by the Huffington Post. “ Sunday 2 at 4 p.m .: Blanquer makes announcements for the start of the next day Monday 3. In addition he lies », writes the Créteil branch of the same union. Also on Twitter, the policies of several different parties did not fail to tackle the late stance of Jean-Michel Blanquer.
