Teacher pact: demonstrations organized this Wednesday everywhere in France

Teachers are on strike to protest and demonstrate against a new government reform.

After the pension reform, teachers are angry at a new reform proposed by the government “without consultation”, this device will apply next September for volunteer teachers, colleges and high schools, including professionals.

Six unions had called on teachers to demonstrate this Wednesday, May 31, 2023, to denounce the deterioration of working conditions.
“In the context of the negotiation of new professional equality action plans in our ministry, where social demand is strong, the pact bears the proven risk of aggravating gender inequalities. On the other hand, the pact will considerably degrade the functioning of schools and EPLEs and weaken work collectives by placing staff in competition.”

For the trade unions, the choice to deploy the reforms through pacts risks leading to the “unequal treatment of students in the public education service” with a “multiplied” effect for the professional path “where the Pact is the tool for implementing questionable measures. This is a forced passage on the part of the government, in the same way as for the pension reform which we are still asking for the withdrawal ”.

“Hoping to make us turn the page on pensions, Minister Ndiaye put on the agenda of the Ministerial Social Administration Committee of May 31 the decrees and orders on “revaluation” and the teacher pact” writes the inter-union education . “The “pact” is a device that in no way meets the expectations of colleagues. Far from contributing to the revaluation expected by all, it will lead to an increase in the workload of staff, while a DEPP survey has shed light on the reality of teachers’ working time ( half work more than 43 hours per week) and that figures from the well-being observatory confirm the difficult working conditions for the profession: half of the staff is in a state of advanced exhaustion.

A demonstration is organized by the FSU on Wednesday May 31 in Nevers. The teachers’ union is planning an action against the announcement of the Pact by the National Education before the DSDEN.

“For 10 years, we have been asking for the index point to be unlocked. We are asking for €300 of monthly revaluation and without additional missions”.

A demonstration was organized this Wednesday in Strasbourg to denounce the teacher pact “which consists in asking teachers to carry out additional missions”; reports Géraldine Delay, secretary general of the FSU67.

After the pension reform, teachers are angry at a new reform proposed by the government “without consultation”, from 11 a.m. in front of the rectorate of Lyon.
