Less than a week before the start of the school year, the issue of distance education is on everyone's lips.

Teachers 'unions and parents' unions are worried about potential computer bugs, such as those encountered ten days ago when setting up the distance school. 

Is distance education going to work this time around?

This is the question that worries teachers, unions, students and parents as the start of the school year approaches.

All remain scalded by the repeated computer bugs encountered ten days ago.

The subject is to be discussed this Wednesday at a health defense council, but it was also on the menu of discussions between teachers' unions on Tuesday.

While college and high school students must resume distance education on Monday, skepticism remains.

According to the unions, the Ministry of Education holds a very proactive discourse, but still very nebulous.

On the cybersecurity side, they were assured that everything had been done to secure the Cned, victim of attacks, but without further details.

The "My class at home" device, which depends on the Cned, will be promoted with the idea of ​​encouraging all those who do not yet have an account to create one.

Resized "My Class at Home"

Problem: even on this platform, there was saturation, explain the unions. And especially because of the virtual waiting room, which has become a real bottleneck. On the ministry side, the unions are explained to have taken this problem into account and oversized the waiting room. "My Classroom at Home" could now accommodate 12 million simultaneous connections.

As for ENTs, digital work environments, these platforms made available to regions and departments and used in establishments by teachers and students, local authorities have discussed with their operators and hope that there will be no no connection problems. But here, there are fewer guarantees, it seems to say rue de Grenelle. "It can crash Monday in some places," said an adviser.
