The Covid-19 still has serious consequences on the school climate, according to a study by the main union of school leaders

The Covid-19 epidemic still has serious consequences on the school climate. This is revealed by a survey presented on Friday, December 3 and conducted by the main union of school leaders, SNPDEN, with Casden from March 16 to May 16, 2021. Nearly 4,300 secondary schools responded, i.e. a just under one in two in France.

Working conditions are deteriorating sharply, estimate nine out of ten school heads. Nearly eight out of ten also point to a fall in confidence in National Education. This is explained in particular by the different health protocols and their regular changes.

The Covid-19 has also had a negative impact on the articulation between private and professional life, according to seven principals and principals in ten. There is a loss of interest and sense of the daily mission of school principals.

The survey also shows that these resentments are far from being one-off. In ten years, the school climate has darkened a lot. They are two times less to qualify it as good or excellent today, compared to 2010.

On the positive side, we note a strong improvement in the practice of digital. A greater freedom to innovate is welcomed by eight out of ten professionals as well as the change in certain ways of working thanks to this collective experience.
