In Corsica, where only 1.6% of schoolchildren were welcomed on Tuesday, no secondary school or high school will reopen before the start of the school year in September, a situation regretted by the rector, according to whom this measure "deprives parents of the right to schooling of their children ”.
The Corsican executive council, chaired by the autonomist Gilles Simeoni, announced last week, in a report presented and approved at the Corsican assembly, that "the principle of a general start of the school year on May 11 (was) inappropriate for the health plan and largely inapplicable to the material plan. This is why the general reopening of schools can only take place in September 2020 ”.
Only 35 schools reopened
On Monday, only 35 out of 257 primary schools reopened in the Isle of Beauty, welcoming 400 out of 25,558 students, or 1.6% of the total enrollment, according to figures from the rectorate of the Corsican Academy.
Regarding colleges and high schools, whose technical staff are agents of the community of Corsica which owns the walls of these establishments, texts or even letters seeming to emanate from the management of certain establishments were nevertheless sent this week to pupils or parents students to announce that the conditions were met for a reopening on Monday, angering the independence president of the Corsican Assembly, Jean-Guy Talamoni.
