This can be seen in the opinion sent to the government on October 22 by National Health Director Horacio Arruda.

According to this view, d^r In secondary 3, 4 and 5, he initially wants to be in the whole group-class school, alternating every day.

Then, he recommends extending the “second phase”, which will see half of the class appear in school every day.

He said the measure would take effect “as soon as conditions allow”.

In an interview on Friday, PQ education spokeswoman Veronica Hivan recalled that she had been screaming for months asking for half a class.

They have already been recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Public Health of Quebec (INSPQ).

This has always been denied, with the Minister of Education suggesting that his position be confirmed by Public Health on December 3rd.

“Public health and the government have come to a consensus that the best model currently in Quebec is the model we have as an alternative to the secondary 3, 4 and 5,” he said.

“How could he give us such an answer on December 3 when the minister has been in his hands since October 22^r Does Arruda clearly recommend half classes? M asks^{To me} Hivan.

According to a Joliet member, half the classes offer a double benefit: fewer students in the school, but fewer students in the classes.

She believes such a measure could make a “difference” to this fall, “showing distance as the first measure still applicable by public health,” she said.

In November, more than 1,200 students were left home alone due to the coronavirus.

Substitute, except for students who are in trouble

In addition, on September 27 d^r Arruda recommended a daily replacement for secondary 4 and 5 students, except students with difficulties or special needs.

This recommendation was not accepted by Minister Roberz, Mr.^{To me} Hivan.

“It was very manageable, and it never was,” she says. This is another strong example of the view that the politician, the minister and the prime minister do not follow. ”

A total of 14 written views from D^r Rare was revealed on Friday as requested by the opposition.
