On September 2, all schools in Seine et Marne were doing theirs back to school according to level 2 of sanitary protocol decided by the National Education. Providing all face-to-face lessons, the wearing of masque compulsory indoors from primary school, a aeration reinforced, and especially a mixing of students possible, but limited by level. From measures which on the whole seem to be bearing fruit.
“The number of closed classes is low”
Indeed, if 246 classes were closed on September 16 throughout the Académie de Créteil (which represents 0.61% of the 40,036 existing classes), including 83 in Seine-et-Marne, no school, no college or high school has yet been obliged to close completely its doors: “It is true that there are closed classes, but today their number is quite low”, we rejoice on the side of the academic direction.
In total, between September 9 and 16, these are 1,451 cases of Covid which were confirmed on the student side (i.e. 0.15% of the 916,850 students in the Academy) and 136 cases on the personal side (or 0.20% of the 65,110 staff members in the Academy).
Figures which do not however completely reassure the unions: “With the saliva tests which will resume, it would surprise me that the number of cases does not change. Indeed, today, the students who are tested are tested because they feel symptoms, but with the saliva tests the positive cases will also be asymptomatic students ”, explains Thierry Grignon, elementary school teacher and SNUIPP delegate ( Unitary national union of teachers, school teachers and PEGC).
“Corrections that create confusion”
But according to him, the real problem lies in the lack of clarity of the protocol in force: “There are measures that seem clear from the outside, but then the National Education provides small corrections who create the confusion, whether it is among the teachers or the parents of the students. It is these small changes that we deplore ”, confides the union representative.
Nevertheless, Thierry Grignon ensures that he is not in favor of a vaccination compulsory for pupils and teachers, even in the event of an increase in the number of cases: “The compulsory vaccination leads to a lot of tension, we have seen that with the health personnel. However, today, our society is already strained enough to add more. We are more in favor of an incentive for those who hesitate, ”he concludes.
