The Minister of Education of the FWB, Caroline Désir, was the guest of the morning of Bel RTL this morning. Discontent is rising in the schools, exhausted and strongly impacted by the Omicron variant.
“The disorganization that affects schools is the one that affects all of society. The virus is circulating everywhere, so schools are hit hard too,” commented the Minister. “Teaching is destabilized and the directors challenged me because they are very worried about learning difficulties. We will try to put as many children back in school as possible. We will focus on the essentials at the program level, and take them into account during the end-of-year exams to ensure the level. It’s a balancing act, but we’ve done it in years past“, she assured.
New health measures come into force today, decried by some teachers, who criticize the minister for not protecting them enough. “I want to remind them of the basic precautionary rule: people who show symptoms, staff members or children, must self-isolate and get tested.” she replied. “The booster dose available to all protects very well against serious forms, teachers must go and get vaccinated”, she also invited, before recalling that the wearing of the mask is generalized, and that fans have been put in place in the establishments. “We cannot say that we knowingly let the virus circulate., she supported.
Self-tests will also be made available, but isn’t that ridiculous? “It’s a recovery stock to pass the Omicron peak”, informed Caroline Désir. “It’s to help parents who have difficulty buying them and for teachers who need them”.
