The mobilization continues against the “shock of knowledge” reform, Saturday May 25. Teachers, parents and students are demonstrating in several cities in France to demand in particular the abandonment of the establishment of level groups in French and mathematics.
In Toulouse (Haute-Garonne), Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin) and even Paris, almost all teacher and student unions, but also the parents’ federation, are calling on Saturday May 25 for a large-scale mobilization against the reform of the “clash of knowledge”. “It is a mobilization which takes place on a Saturday precisely to also allow the mobilization of people who do not necessarily wish to strike. explains Catherine Nave-Bekhti, the general secretary of the CFDT Education Training Research Publics.
They are particularly opposed to the level groups in French and mathematics, which will come into force at the start of the 2024 school year for sixth and fifth grades. According to them, these groups risk stigmatizing many students. There would also not be enough teachers to implement the reform. The protest movement has lasted for several months And is expected to continue until the end of the school year.
