“There will be a teacher in front of each class, in all the schools in France”, announced Pap Ndiaye this Thursday morning on France Inter.
This is a major challenge for the Minister of National Education in view of the figures from the last teacher competition.
4000 teachers are still missing at the beginning of July.
Rue de Grenelle ensures that the recruitment and "loyalty" of contract workers should make it possible to complete the ranks for the start of the school year.
“The situation was anticipated when we saw the drop in the number of people registered for the competition,” explains someone close to the minister.
Prior to the “job dating” sessions, partnerships with APEC and Pôle Emploi, and publications on social networks made it possible to target potential new contract workers.
To attract candidates in a competitive job market, "instructions have been given to boost the remuneration a little", explains the ministry, without giving more details on the figures.
In the Ile-de-France academies, where the lack of incumbents is most glaring, specific support will be offered for newcomers.
However, few details have been given on the form that this follow-up will take.
“Retaining” teachers under contract
Attracting contract workers is good, but keeping them is better.
The ministry is trying to “retain” teachers under contract.
The goal ?
Do not find yourself in the same situation as last summer.
“For many academies, the contracts ended at the end of the year.
From the arrival of Pap Ndiaye, we asked that they continue until the start of the school year so that people do not remain in a vacuum, ”says an adviser.
For the time being, the ministry wants to be reassuring: “We are not going to group the classes together because we would lack teachers.
“He also pledged not to dip into the pool of replacements to fill vacancies.
Pap Ndiaye also promised on France Inter "a shock of attractiveness" for the teaching profession, referring in particular to increases in remuneration.
But the minister clarified that “responding structurally to this crisis (…) (would) take a little time”.
