Emmanuel Macron addresses teachers: the Head of State sent a letter to National Education staff on Friday, September 16 to present to them the changes planned during the five-year term, including the revaluation of teachers’ remuneration, which may go up to 20% within the framework of the “pact” that he offers them.
The head of state “wished to write to all National Education staff in order to show them all its gratitude, especially after the Covid period, and to explain the Copernican revolution” which he had presented on August 25 at the Sorbonne, said the Elysée in a press release.
“At the start of this new school year, I wanted to present to you (…) the transformations that I wish to bring about (at the school) during this five-year term”writes the president in this letter addressed to the 1.2 million personnel of National Education.
Believing that “too many teachers are not recognized as they should be”, the Head of State returns in particular to the increase in their remuneration promised during his campaign. He recalls that the Minister of Education, Pap Ndiaye, “will soon begin consultations with the trade unions in order to continue the general revaluation of teachers’ remuneration initiated two years ago. Teachers’ salaries will thus have increased by around 10% and no teacher will start their career with less than 2,000 euros net from the start of the 2023 school year.he promises.
“To this general and unconditional revaluation are likely to be added even greater increases within the framework of the pact that we are offering you”thanks to “additional assignments” (replacement, individualized follow-up, orientation, etc.), continues Emmanuel Macron. “The increase in the salary of teachers who accept this pact could thus go up to 20%.”
Before the rectors at the end of August, the Head of State had already assured that the revaluation of teachers’ salaries would be “pursued” so that no one starts their career “less than 2,000 euros net” per month. The President also points out that “to transform the school in depth, we must also review its entire organization” within the framework of the National Refoundation Council (CNR).
