“At this stage, the return to school is on track, the minister is not in charge today,” assures the secretary general of SNPDEN-Unsa

The resigning Minister of National Education is giving a back-to-school press conference on Tuesday.

The start of the school year is being organized, despite a resigning minister at the head of the Ministry of Education. Work is being carried out within the “administrative services”Bruno Bobkiewicz, general secretary of SNPDEN-Unsa, the leading union of heads of establishments, said on franceinfo on Tuesday August 27. “At this stage, the return to school is on track, the minister is not in charge today,” he assures that Nicole Belloubet, the resigning Minister of National Education and Youth, must hold a back-to-school press conference this Tuesday morning.

“What was supposed to be announced has been announced for months” and according to Bruno Bobkiewicz, “The political situation prevents him from announcing new developments, which is rather good news for us, since we have suffered a lot from this.”with instability at the head of the government. As much, “the back-to-school preparation file is progressing”since“we are all at work”but the unionist calls for the continuation, to “clarifications”especially since“A new minister may decide to give up” such and such device “in the near future”.

The Secretary General of SNPDEN-Unsa mentions in particular all the “construction sites” of the school launched, without necessarily sustainable plans, by the successive governments of Emmanuel Macron, including “the generalization of level groups, need groups”, “the generalization of universal national service”, “the place of digital and mobile phones”, “the future of the uniform experiment” or even “the question of authority”. “We are in a constant logic of new things from which we suffer a lot, because it is very time-consuming and we see very little use in our daily lives for the success of students”he sums up.

Bruno Bobkiewicz therefore wants more stability, after having had four ministers in two years, including three last year alone. “with a lightning passage [d’Amélie Oudéa-Castéra] that we remember in January”. “It’s really very complicated to manage when we have incessant announcements of new products or new priorities based on current events that ruin our lives.”he concluded.
