the Unsa Education union files an appeal before the Council of State

Unsa Education announces, in a press release, that it filed an appeal with the Council of State on Tuesday April 23 “to contest the legality of the order” establishing level groups from the next school year at school. A summary was also filed “to request the immediate suspension of this order”.

In mid-March, the text which provides for the creation, from September, of groups in mathematics and French for sixth and fifth grade classes, was published in the Official Journal. It is part of a set of measures called “Shock of knowledge”, initiated by Gabriel Attal when he was Minister of Education. Since the announcement of the upcoming creation of these level groups, the teaching unions have organized several days of demonstrations.

A plan announced without having been “discussed”

“On several occasions, the entire educational community, researchers, and civil society actors, have mobilized to express their deep concern about this new organization of teaching in college, both in terms of the principles which underlie it and in terms of the haste with which it was established”recalls Unsa Education.

The union deplores more specifically a lack of consultation on the part of the government and assures that this “Shock of Knowledge” plan was announced without having first been “discussed, or even presented to staff representatives and field stakeholders”. Two other appeals have already been filed before the Council of State by the Sgen-CFDT and environmentalist parliamentarians to denounce these college-level groups.
