A week after presenting his revised health plan for the start of the fall school year, the Minister of Education, Jean-François Roberge, announced a series of measures to promote academic success as hundreds of primary school students and high school students were unable to attend school during the pandemic last spring.

The amounts announced on Monday will allow the hiring of special education technicians, teachers and tutors, for example, for the year 2020-2021. The amount could represent the full-time hiring of some 350 people said The Minister of Education, Jean-François Roberge.
The health plan provides that the face covering will be compulsory at the start of the school year for children 10 years and older, that is to say from the 5th year. Face coverings will not be mandatory at recess or in class. The concept of a six-student “bubble” has also been dropped. The “bubble” will henceforth be the class.
