Emmanuel Macron announced Thursday to local elected officials that the decision to return to school from May 11 would be left to the parents. But this "volunteering" is not without causing concern.

The return of students from May 11 will be on a voluntary basis, Emmanuel Macron announced Thursday during his meeting with elected officials. Parents can therefore choose not to bring their children back to school. But in this case, what will happen to them if they are forced to stay at home to continue looking after their children? Some elements of explanation.

Can they ask to benefit from the partial childcare activity?

If they have the possibility of teleworking, we can assume that in agreement with their employer, they will continue. But the problem will arise especially for parents whose employment does not allow the use of telework. Will they be able to ask to benefit from the partial childcare activity, this system which will be implemented from May 1 and which will allow the employees concerned to receive 84% of their net salary like those who are today partially unemployed? The question is not anecdotal since this device was set up for employees who have no choice but to stay at home to take care of their children. However, from May 11, employees will have another choice: that of sending their children back to school!

CORONAVIRUS ESSENTIALS 

> Can France hope for a more favorable scenario than Italy? 

> Are women and people with blood type O more resistant? 

> Are certain serious forms linked to a genetic factor? 

> How will the distribution of masks take place in France? 

> Back to school on May 11: under what conditions? 

> How to keep sleep during confinement?

And then another question arises: will the employer who will want to rely on his entire teams to restart his business see a good eye from some of his employees tell him "sorry, do not count on me, i chose not to send my children to school so I stay at home to babysit "?

On these various points, there is still no response from the government side. The answers, assured Thursday evening the Ministry of Labor, will be brought at the time of the presentation of the deconfinement plan by Edouard Philippe.
