They share the diagnosis: the school, experienced by two years of health crisis, deserves it to be treated as a “priority” and that it is devoted to more means. Means for teachers, ways for students, ways for students. But passed this observation, the two finalist candidates of the presidential election confirmed, Wednesday, April 20 during their televised face-to-face, that if they were elected, they would not borrow the same paths.

On the issue of teacher remuneration, the lines moved. Especially on the president candidate, Emmanuel Macron, who has committed to an “unconditional revaluation” of teachers. A signal addressed to this electorate of some 900,000 staff, three days of the second round.

But that would not be non-counterparty. The debate confirmed that M me The Pen plans to extend the working time of the teachers from half a half day. “They will be paid more for this half-day primary, on Wednesday morning,” said the candidate. A possible change of school rhythms that does not say his name.
