Teachers were on strike on Thursday, February 1, particularly over the issue of their salaries. According to the Ministry of National Education, 20% of teaching staff were mobilized.
Rarely have they marched so united. All the teaching unions are on strike, together, to express their fed up in the streets of Paris, Thursday February 1st. The same anger and many demands. The first: to push back the government on the level groups in middle school, which are too unequal for many teachers. Salary is at the heart of teachers’ concerns; it should be increased again to upgrade the profession, according to several teachers.
Amélie Oudéa-Castéra targeted
The straw that overflowed the street: the criticisms of the new Minister of National Education on public schools. “The accumulation of reactions from this minister means that I took the RER today to say that it is not possible”, reacted a teacher from Essonne. This day was a first warning announced by the unions. They are thinking about other mobilizations.
