The Minister of National Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, has authorized high schools to give more distance learning courses in the face of criticism of the inadequacies of the health protocol.

These provisions are to take effect this week, but in some establishments, there are fears of dropping out of school.

The new health protocol against the coronavirus will take effect this week in the 4,300 high schools in France.

The Minister of National Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, in particular authorized the establishments to give more distance courses, provided that at least 50% of the teaching is done in class.

Half-groups, home teaching….

How will schools manage to implement this new round of sanitary screwdriving day after day, with students aged 15 to 18, who are sometimes one or two heads taller than their teachers?

"We do not want to kill all conviviality either"

"We pursue them in the morning in the hall so that they all have hydroalcoholic gel on their hands!", Smiles at the microphone of Europe 1 Florence Delannoy, principal of a Lille school.

She has found a system to limit the risks in the canteen: her students eat at staggered tables.

But now, a new rule will apply: "We are going to ask each pupil to define the small group of comrades with whom he wants to eat. We do not want to kill all conviviality either."

His students will come to high school three days, then two days the following week, alternately.

Each establishment is tailor-made.

"The students have lost their work habits, it's pretty catastrophic"

But in vocational high school, we fear to let go of the students.

"Especially no half-groups", tells us Lysiane Gervais, SNPDEN director near Bordeaux.

Because according to teachers, the risk of dropping out is too great.

"At the end of the confinement, we brought back students by force. We had to summon them, insist," reports Lysiane Gervais.

"The teachers tell us that they are having a lot of trouble, the students have lost their working habits, it's pretty catastrophic."
