And four.
Several teaching unions (FSU, CGT Educ'Action, SUD Éducation and CNT) have filed a new strike notice for this Thursday in educational establishments in Seine-Saint-Denis.
They are demanding a new emergency plan for education in the poorest department in France, including the hiring of 5,200 additional teachers.
On Monday, a first call for a strike was launched with the aim of disrupting the start of the February vacation.
For three days, the movement has been renewed.
This Wednesday, several establishments were affected by more or less continuous walkouts such as at the Pléiade college and the Blaise Cendrars high school in Sevran or at the Romain-Rolland college in Tremblay-en-France.
In Pantin, parents from Joliot Curie college also joined the movement by organizing a “desert college” operation this Wednesday.
According to the unions, some 700 people demonstrated on Tuesday in front of the premises of the departmental services of national education (DSDEN) in Bobigny.
“The inter-union was mandated by colleagues to officially submit, during a hearing, the quantified grievances to DSDEN 93. The academic authorities have undertaken to transmit our demands to the ministry which now seems to be the only one to ignore the unprecedented force of the mobilization,” reports the inter-union in a press release published Tuesday.
The new minister questioned by Stéphane Peu
During a debate at the Palais-Bourbon on Monday, Stéphane Peu, the MP (PCF) for the 2nd constituency of Seine-Saint-Denis asked the Minister of National Education Nicole Belloubet if the government was considering launching a new plan emergency for education in the 93. In November, this parliamentarian published a report with Christine Decodts, a colleague (Renaissance) elected in the North, in which they called for the implementation of a plan for “a stronger school in Seine-Saint-Denis”.
They explained that the educational measures proposed by the government as part of the “A Stronger State in Seine-Saint-Denis” plan in 2018 had not made it possible to resolve the state's deficiencies in the department.
“I understand well that the singularities that you have to face also require unique responses,” replied the new minister to Stéphane Peu, promising to quickly delve into this issue and provide him with an answer.
The inter-union is already calling for a “massive strike” for March 7.
