“We are working on this interval, once again in dialogue with the scientific authorities”, he stressed. The Minister of Education indicated that the protocol put in place until now “made it possible to exceed one million tests during the month of December”.
Jean-Michel Blanquer also announced that a circular will be sent to prefects and rectors asking them “to amplify” installation of CO2 sensors in schools in conjunction with local communities. “I have no doubt that we will go towards the equipment of all “, he said.
The Minister recalled that it is a competence of the local communities. Corn “We have already released 20 million euros in support of local authorities. We are in support of local authorities when they have difficulty buying them. And therefore we have a growth in these purchases”, he said.
Jean-Michel Blanquer insisted on the importance of ventilating “very regularly” the classes during “10 minutes”. But in winter, the energy bill can quickly climb. The installation of sensors makes it possible to measure the CO2 concentration and easily assess the level of air renewal.
