The day after his visit to Italy, the Minister of National Education was at the microphone of Europe 1 assuring that students from the large section from kindergarten to final year forced to stay at home in their fortnight, could benefit from this device.

"We have been prepared for several weeks", assures Jean-Michel Blanquer. Invited to the morning of Europe 1 this Friday morning, the Minister of National Education detailed the distance education system provided by the government for students forced to stay in the fortnight and which, according to him, is "ready" .

"We have prepared with CNED, our distance education operator who has modernized a lot lately, a whole system so that French students in China can benefit from this distance education", he summarizes, adding: "It has therefore been very operational since that time and we have enlarged the system so that, for example for the students of this college in Amiens or for those forced to stay at home, we have set up this system which allows the large section from kindergarten to the kindergarten class to have lessons and even homework to do "And Jean-Michel Blanquer assures him, if it were necessary to widen the system more broadly, that would be possible. "We are ready to do that."
