The start of the school year takes place on Thursday, September 1, with, implicitly, the question of staff reinforcements. Will the number of teachers be sufficient, while the Minister of National Education has promised a teacher in front of each class? This year, 3,000 contractual teachers will return to school.
The start of the school year officially takes place in three days, Thursday September 1, but Florence Collet has already done hers, in a high school in Saint-Cyr-l’École (Yvelines). She is starting her second day of training to be a school teacher: four days of intensive workshops to learn the basics of the profession. These workshops follow one another, with one hour per subject to cover the entire program from kindergarten to primary school.
Like Florence Collet, about twenty other people are trained, and the questions are numerous. A few days before the start of the school year, none of these contract workers has yet to be assigned. “It is difficult to project ourselves on the content, for my part, I would have a preference for kindergarten”, testifies one of them. It was thanks to a job-dating organized by the Versailles Academy that Florence Collet wanted to reorient herself, when she was a tax expert at EDF. To this day, she too has no assignment.
