Amélie Oudéa-Castera had to apologize following her comments on the absenteeism of public education teachers. What are the reasons ?
Every Sunday evening, it’s the same ritual for these parents of students in Hauts-de-Seine. In front of the school, they watch for posters to find out which teachers will be absent. “My child doesn’t have a teacher until January 30. It’s a disaster. I think he must have missed two months of school since the start of the school year“, points out a mother.
15 million hours of lessons would not be guaranteed
Every year, 15 million hours of lessons would not be provided due to lack of replacements. This is valid throughout France. In Vallauris (Alpes-Maritimes), Ilyes Maouche, a 3rd grade student, paid the price. He did not have a French teacher during the first two months of school. Last September, 3,000 positions were not filled. The new minister ofEnational education must receive all education unions from January 15.
