Unfortunately, these difficulties are the source of deleterious effects, such as stress, a feeling of guilt and conflicts within the confined families.

Facing In this situation, exceptional and appropriate measures will have to be taken at the end of the confinement period so that the level and needs of students are accurately assessed and, where appropriate, so that children who have not been able to progress normally can catch up. Also, he asks him to specify the measures he intends to take, particularly for the most disadvantaged neighborhoods, so that this health crisis does not give rise to a school crisis.
