According to information obtained by FEESP-CSN, the Federation still does not plan to issue a recommendation to this effect.

Over the past week, several Centers of School Service (CSS) in Quebec announced their decision to suspend classes on April 8, while keeping daycare services open. “There is no logic in this decision. CSS is afraid that teachers will not be able to manage students during the eclipse, but they are not worried about leaving them in nursery, even if the teacher-student ratio has risen in many years. Annie CharlandHead of the Academic Support Sector at FEESP.

Just like the Association for the Teaching of Science and Technology of Quebec (AESTQ), Annie Charland He argues that this rare phenomenon can provide an interesting educational opportunity for students. But at the same time, she stresses that to do this, recommendations must be sent to all school employees immediately.

“The lack of consistency in the measures taken by the different school service centers causes a lot of anxiety and creates insecurity for students, parents and workers in the education network. “It takes clear and uniform lines for everyone,” concludes the Head of the Academic Support Sector of FEESP-CSN.
