Sport will be able to resume at school inside and outside as of the start of the school year.

It’s back to school « As normal as possible » to which primary, college and high school students will be entitled on September 2. In an interview given to Sunday newspaper, Jean-Michel Blanquer, detailed what would be the protocol applied in schools.

« The evolution of the health situation leads us to retain level 2 », on a scale of 4, explained the Minister of National Education, Youth and Sports in the columns of the JDD. This allows the resumption of face-to-face lessons for all levels, thanks to barrier gestures and vaccination for over 12s.

This level 2 protocol also governs sports practice in establishments, and will allow PE lessons to resume almost normally. Physical activities will be authorized outdoors, but also indoors, on condition that the distance is adapted according to the sport. Indoor contact sports will not be allowed.

This protocol may change depending on the health situation and feedback from trade unions, with whom Jean-Michel Blanquer « (Continue) to dialogue on all the issues of implementation ».
