  • The implementation of the new health protocol provokes the anger of students, teachers and elected officials.

  • In Roubaix, teachers went on strike on Tuesday to question an inapplicable protocol without additional resources.

  • The regional council, in charge of high schools, asked the state to reduce staff.

Discontent is mounting in schools.

This Tuesday, teachers went on strike at the Baudelaire college and high school in Roubaix.

The Queneau high school in Villeneuve d'Ascq was blocked by students.

All these actions have the same cause: the health protocol implemented in education since the reconfinement.

A subject which the Hauts-de-France region has decided to seize upon.

This Tuesday, Manoëlle Martin, vice-president in charge of high schools at the regional council, asked for "a revision of the health protocol" in schools, "to the observation that it can not be applied," said the elected.

"The distance of one meter is not applicable"

After several visits by officials of the Region on Monday in schools, including its president, Xavier Bertrand, the finding is "that the distance of one meter is not applicable, or in any case not applied" in large establishments , noted Manoëlle Martin.

“The big black spot” is school catering, but the problem also arises in playgrounds and for the movement of students, few of whom “have realized” the imperative of respecting health measures, she believes.

The Region has alerted the Ministry of Education and is "ready to help reflection", she added, advocating a review of staff, with courses "half face-to-face, half distance".

“We will certainly mobilize the regions on this theme”, via the Association of Regions of France, she added.

Teachers demand reduced staff

On the side of the Baudelaire college and high school in Roubaix, the teachers, who went on strike on Tuesday, are calling for "reduced numbers" of students, "means for ventilation, restriction of mixing and reinforced cleaning to be effective »And surgical masks for teachers and students.

“In high school, 70% of teachers are on strike today.

Only two classes took place this morning.

In college, at least 30% of teachers are on strike, a proportion that could change, ”said Tiphaine Colin, professor of economic and social sciences and representative of Snes-FSU.

A "huge gap between speech and reality".

"Locally, it is not possible to set up the national protocol without means and the establishments had no additional means", she explained, deploring a "huge gap between speech and reality".

"We want at all costs to avoid the closure of the establishment because that leads to a strong dropout of students," she added, calling for "national measures" to reduce staff, with "program reductions and a postponement of the bac ”.
