Against a health protocol deemed too light, an inter-union calls for a strike in schools in France on Tuesday. Fabian Clément, co-secretary of FSU Côte-d’Or. Teachers speak of very busy classes in middle and high schools, with premises sometimes small and difficult to ventilate. “Concretely we can have blocked windows because of the obsolescence“says Fabian Clément, co-secretary of FSU Côte-d’Or.”For all these reasons, reducing the number of students per class is essential in order to keep schools open.“he adds.
We must strengthen the health protocol because of two things, either we are in a serious situation and we must take the necessary measures, or we do not understand anything at all about government policy.
“Mobilization is starting to pay off“rejoices Fabian Clément, co-secretary of the FSU Côte-d’Or. The Minister of Education has opened a door to half-group operation in high schools, it remains to be extended to all for the unions. , “to see the concrete organization“specifies Fabian Clément,”a clear framing of the half-group operation“. For the union representative of Côte-d’Or,”we wasted time and now we need measures for the colleges, the big ones forgotten by these announcements“.
Half a group in each class
Fabien Clément calls for “stay humble“in the face of our knowledge of this coronavirus. For him, it is necessary to strengthen the health protocol in all establishments and not only in high schools.” _We cannot say that our college students are not contagious. There are positive cases among our middle school students_. It was also said about primary school students that we did not see the need to make them wear masks and now we are forcing them to put them on.“.
What is the best health protocol?
In this case, what health protocol does the trade unionist suggest? “Keeping everyone every other week is not the solution“first Fabian Clément. According to the co-secretary of FSU Côte-d’Or,”the right solution is half a group in class, the other at home with work“.
Even if, “the best solution would of course be to have more staff in order to ensure half-class lessons for everyone“ adds the Côte-d’Orien. “There is an urgent need to recruit staff to deal with this crisis. Already in normal times, the situation is tense. So in times of crisis, we have a lack of replacements, supervisors, CPEs, territorial agents and school nurses“concludes Fabian Clément.
The inter-union of Côte d’Or gives an appointment at 2 p.m. to demonstrate in front of the rectorate of the Dijon academy.
