Emmanuel Macron had planned a teacher in front of each student at the start of the school year. However, the promise is far from being kept. Update with Sophie Vénétitay, deputy general secretary of the SNES-FSU teaching union.
A survey carried out in 500 establishments by the SNES-FSU teaching union shows that the promise of having a teacher in front of each student is not fulfilled. “We are very far from the mark. We questioned all of our colleagues. From the responses, we constructed a representative sample (…) there is a shortage of at least one teacher in half of the middle and high schools in France. It is the symbol of the very serious crisis in the attractiveness of our professions.”specifies Sophie Vénétitay, deputy general secretary of the SNES-FSU teaching union.
All academies are affected
The figures are not the same depending on the region. “The crisis affects the entire territory. There is a slightly greater shortage of teachers in the Paris region, but that does not mean that the other academies are not affected.”continues secretary deputy general of the SNES-FSU. “Today, students do not have lessons (…) we have the situation of students who do not have French lessons even though they have the baccalaureate at the end of the year”concludes Sophie Vénétitay.
