French Minister of Education Announces Cancellation of Safety Distance for Kindergartens

　　China News Service, June 18, according to the "European Times" report, in order to achieve the full return of French students to school on June 22, the French Minister of Education announced on the 17th local time that the safety distance regulations for French kindergartens will be cancelled. In addition, the anti-epidemic regulations in elementary and junior high schools have also been eased.

On May 12, local time, in the city of La Grande Croix near Saint-Etienne in central France, local pupils wore uniformly distributed face masks to attend classes.

　　According to reports, French President Macron said in a televised speech on the 14th that, except for high school, other schools at all levels will return to normal as of June 22. This means that "learning at home" comes to an end, and students from relevant schools will return to the classroom on the 22nd.

　　Since the school reopened in mid-May, only 1.8 million of the 6.7 million elementary school students in France have returned to school, and only 0.6 million of the 3.3 million junior high school students have returned to school. Previously, the school’s anti-epidemic regulations required 4 square meters of space per person. The school is difficult to do.

　　In view of this, the French Minister of Education Bronguet said on the 17th that kindergartens and nurseries no longer have to comply with the aforementioned regulations, because from a practical point of view, "we know that it is not easy for (toddlers) to comply with the distance regulations."

　　In addition, recent research shows that young children rarely have new cases of new pneumonia, which has also prompted the authorities to relax regulations.

　　On the issue of elementary school, Brown's tone has also been loosened. Although he still emphasized that the distance between people should be kept at one meter, he also admitted that in some classes "the distance may have to be less than one meter." For junior high school, the Minister of Education stated that if a distance of one meter cannot be maintained, then students must wear masks.
