Educational assistants “are recruited for contracts of a maximum duration of three years, renewable within the limit of a total commitment period of six years. When a new contract is concluded with a person who has worked for six years as a educational assistant, this contract is for an indefinite period”details the decree.

“For the assessment of the six-year contract period, the services performed on an incomplete and part-time basis are assimilated to full-time services”, he says. In the event of refusal to renew the CDI contract, the heads of establishment must justify their decision.

The draft decree for the CDIsation of educational assistants was presented on July 6, 2022 by the Ministry of National Education to the ministerial technical committee (CTM).

In 2020, the Ministry of National Education listed around 63,000 education assistants. A quarter of AEDs are students. The vast majority are in their thirties.
