Six unions are calling for a strike by Accompanying Students with Disabilities (AESH) and a rally in front of the Ministry of National Education on Tuesday 13 June. Teacher unions denounce their status and demand better salaries for assistants who accompany and support students with disabilities in class.
If Emmanuel Macron announced at the end of April that the accompanying persons, recruited so far only during school time (28 hours), can now be recruited for 35 hours in order to be present also during extracurricular time, the measure is insufficient according to the unions. who want real recognition, in particular through the creation of a status in its own right.
More than 130,000 AESH, for 80,000 full-time equivalents worked (ETPT), currently support 430,000 children, according to figures from the ministry for the start of the 2022 school year.
