Classes will remain open, but under certain conditions.

During a press conference this Thursday evening, the Prime Minister, Jean Castex, and several members of the government gave the modalities of the new containment put in place from this Thursday midnight to stem the second wave of the coronavirus epidemic .

"The reinforced protocol will allow the reception of all students at school, college and high school", promised the Minister of National Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer.

As demanded by some and announced Thursday during the day, wearing a mask becomes compulsory from CP, at 6 years old, against 11 years previously.

One way to "protect students and teachers", according to the minister.

As for older students before, masks will be available in schools in particular in the event of a student forgetting or if the family experiences financial difficulties.

Recess in class if necessary

The authorities also want to limit the mixing of students as much as possible.

And for that, there are four possible levers.

On the one hand, the arrivals and departures of children, which will be spread out over time.

Likewise, there is the circulation of pupils in the buildings.

Only one room will be dedicated to each class in secondary school.

Without forgetting the recreations, which will be done in groups, with respect for barrier gestures.

And if that is not possible, class breaks are provided.

Finally, school catering is maintained.

Whenever possible, the aim is to have the children eat lunch within 1 m of each other, leaving them with their classmates.

Finally, said Jean-Michel Blanquer, the ventilation of the rooms and the cleaning of the furniture will be reinforced.

All of these rules will be similar in the extracurricular, knowing that Jean-Michel Blanquer indicated that some latitude would be granted to high schools for the implementation of this protocol.
