At a time when the executive is preparing to appoint a new list of delegate ministers and secretaries of state who will complement the 14 ministers already in office, the future of maintaining Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, rue de Grenelle, seems to depend on a wire.
Since his arrival on January 11, controversies have continued.
And this day should not be fun yet.
The Minister of Education and Sports will have to face a new teachers' strike this Tuesday before being heard in the afternoon at the National Assembly.
After a day of action which mobilized, last Thursday, one in five teachers, according to figures from the Ministry of Education, the Snes-FSU unions (main union in middle and high schools), CGT and SUD called for a new strike to defend salaries and oppose educational policy at the college.
A demonstration is planned for 2 p.m. in Paris, leaving from Place de la Sorbonne (5th arrondissement), towards the Ministry of Education.
In the sights of the unions: the application for the next school year of the “shock of knowledge” reforms, announced by Gabriel Attal when he was Minister of Education (before his departure to Matignon) to raise the level of students , and in particular the establishment of level groups in French and mathematics in 6th and 5th grade classes.
However, the official texts setting up these level groups at secondary school will be presented on Thursday to the Higher Council of Education (CSE, consultative body bringing together the educational community).
More broadly, the Sud Éducation, Unsa Éducation, FSU, Sgen-CFDT and CGT Educ'action unions called for a “week of actions from February 5 to 9” to “defend public schools, demand the opening of discussions immediate changes on salaries as well as the abandonment of “knowledge shock” measures.
“I’m not thinking of resigning”
Beyond this bronca on the ground, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra will also have to answer questions from deputies of the Cultural Affairs and Education Committee of the National Assembly on her action.
And it is very likely that the oppositions will not spare the super-minister, fifth in the government protocol order.
In this context, will leave, will not leave?
The minister “has the confidence” of Emmanuel Macron and Gabriel Attal, assured Sunday the Minister responsible for Relations with Parliament, Marie Lebec.
Amélie Oudéa-Castéra also pleaded her case on TF1 on Friday February 2.
“I’m not thinking of resigning.
I want to contribute to the success of the school because I think I have a lot to contribute,” she explained.
Response in the next few hours...
