BACK TO SCHOOL 2022-2023. What do we know about the health protocol for the next school year? When does the 2022-2023 school year take place? Who are the young people concerned by the back-to-school allowance? Linternaute.com tells you more about all these points.
[Mis à jour le 13 juillet 2022 à 16h45] Under which anti-Covid health protocol will the 2022-2023 school year take place (more information on start dates)? The Ministry of Education invited unions of teachers and National Education staff on July 12, rue de Grenelle. Objective: to inform them about the health protocol that will be applied from September 1, depending on the health situation observed. This will be the third school year affected by the Covid. On Wednesday July 13, parent-teacher associations and associations of local elected officials were received at the Ministry of Education to discuss the protocol.
The new school health protocol must be formalized “in the coming days”, reports Le Monde, citing the entourage of the Minister of Education. Secretary general of Snuipp-FSU (first union in nursery and elementary schools), Guislaine David stressed to Le Parisien: “This time, the government is anticipating. Since the start of the health crisis, we had not had this level of discussion with the health and anticipation authorities. These three levels of protocol seem to us to be more fluid and adaptable to the school environment. We are in a situation where we are learning to live with Covid in society in general, so we will have to also do at school”. According to trade union sources relayed by France news, the choice of the level of measures decided for the start of the school year should take place at the end of August. And the Ministry of Education provides “either normal operation or level 1 of the protocol”.
According to information from France newsconfirmed by Le Parisien-Today in France, three levels of measurements are provided for in the new health protocol. The previous anti-covid school health protocol, implemented in September 2021, included four levels of measures (green, yellow, orange and red). According to the sources cited above, the levels of measurement should be broken down as follows, depending on the overall health situation observed at the end of August in France (nature of the variants, hospital situation, etc.):
- Level 1: moderate alertness.
- 100% face-to-face courses in schools, colleges, high schools
- Reminder of barrier gestures
- Limitation of large groupings
- Level 2: enhanced vigilance.
- 100% face-to-face courses in schools, colleges, high schools
- Reinforcement of barrier gestures
- Adaptation of indoor sports practice
- Taking meals by class in the first degree, in order to limit mixing
- Level 3: maximum alertness.
- Hybridization of courses in high school (alternation of face-to-face and distance courses according to the local health context)
- Restriction of physical education activities to respect distances
According to the sources cited above, the Ministry of Education has undertaken to respect a period of ten days to move from one level to another, in conjunction with the health authorities. Worn full-time by students until February 28, the mask should be imposed or not at the rate of what is happening for the general population. Positive students will a priori be asked to isolate themselves, but contact case students should no longer have to test themselves or isolate themselves. Saliva testing campaigns are not planned either. Still according to France Info, the rules applied to outdoor physical and sporting activities should be simplified: the latter can thus be practiced normally, regardless of the level of alert.
BACK TO SCHOOL
Each year, more than 10 million students and nearly a million teachers return to school from high school. What is the date of the upcoming back-to-school season? How many teachers and students are affected? Who can receive the back-to-school allowance? The same questions come up over the years, on this key moment in the career of young people, whether they are in school, college or high school. According to 2022-2023 school calendar already posted online by the Ministry of Educationthe big back to school in September 2022 will take place at the very end of August for teachers and at the very beginning of September for students (see the exact dates below).
According to official calendar of the Ministry of National Educationthe September 2022-2023 back-to-school season takes place on Wednesday August 31, 2022 for teachers, and Thursday, September 1, 2022 for students from primary school to high school. These dates are harmonized in all the academies of metropolitan France, except for Corsica. On the Island of Beauty, teachers will return to school on Thursday September 2, 2021, and students will follow suit on Friday September 3, 2021 in schools, colleges and high schools.

The return to school has a cost and many households benefit each year from back-to-school allowances and/or back-to-school bonuses. The receipt of aid is based on family income. For the year 2022, it is for example those of 2020 that are taken into account. Starting in mid-August, thehe back-to-school allowance (ARS) is paid, subject to resources, to families with children aged 6 to 18 attending school in a public or private establishment or in a remote organization such as the Cned. The amount of the 2022 back-to-school allowance is:
- 376.98 euros per child aged 6 to 10
- 397.78 euros per child aged 11 to 14
- 411.56 euros per child aged 15 to 18
Resource caps are imposed. It is income dating back two years that is taken into account, and not that of the current year (income for the year 2020 is studied for the year 2022) according to the family situation on July 31. Here are the resource ceilings for the back-to-school bonus for the year 2022:
- A dependent child: €25,370
- Two dependent children: 31,225 euros
- Three dependent children: 37,080 euros
- Per additional dependent child: 5,852 euros
