The verdict is expected this week. Will compulsory school resume on May 11? And if so, in what form? While waiting to learn more, parents and teachers in Vaud are worried. “I would love to read studies that have shown that children do not get the virus and are not vectors,” said one mother.

Ultimatum posed
“Of course, many people are worried,” says Christine Muller, of the Vaudois Association of Parents of Students. This is normal, we are still missing a lot of information on reception conditions. ” One of the keys will be the obligation or not for all children to start school again, without exception. Some parents prefer, as long as they can, to keep their offspring with them at home.

For their part, the teachers also set their conditions. “Vulnerable people and their families, whether students or staff, must be allowed to stay at home,” hammered the French-speaking section of their union yesterday. Otherwise, the recovery should be postponed “by a week or two”.

Privileged dialogue, but …
Questioned, the State of Vaud is cautious as long as the Confederation has not presented its recovery plan. “It is important for us that students do not go to school with fear in their stomachs,” said Julien Schekter, spokesperson for the Vaud Education Department. But it is the health measures and directives that will dictate the next steps and the possible scenarios. ” And the scenario of sanctions for who will not send his child to class is not excluded. “In any case, before talking about sanctions, dialogue will be privileged, nuances the spokesperson. We will seek solutions with concerned families. ”
