The Minister of Education, Pap Ndiaye, presented his first school year on Friday, August 26, confronted with the challenges to put as promised “a teacher in front of each class” and to restore attractiveness to the profession.
“An organization as vast as national education needs a steering wheel of contractual teachers. We will open in the spring of 2023 an exceptional competition for the start of a number of these teachers [contractual], according to modalities who will soon be specified, “the Minister announced at first.
“This was done in the loyalty of contract teachers of the past year, from the extension of their contract until August 31” and their renewal at the start of the school year, said the Minister of National Education. Previously, most saw their contract interrupted during the summer.
The profession is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of attractiveness, with more than 4,000 positions not provided this year after teaching competitions in the country (out of 27,300 positions open in the public and the private). This shortage prompted the government to recruit a large number of contract workers in June to ensure the start of the school year in controversial “Job Dating”, interviews organized in several academies.
Christering among non-reports in the competition
“The vast majority of our contractual teachers were already teaching last year, even in previous years. We can estimate that 80 to 90 % of contract teachers already have teaching experience,” said Ndiaye. National education has resorted to some 3,000 contract workers this year, out of approximately 870,000 teachers.
Another pool to compensate for the lack of teachers, the complementary lists of teachers’ competitions: the candidates who passed the competition in the spring of 2022 and were not received.
The ministry “lists the needs following the defections and resignations of the winners received [in the spring of 2022] on the main lists,” said Pap Ndiaye. To replace these resigners, rue de Grenelle draws in these additional lists. To date, these are 260 people.
the large kindergarten section cleared in rep
The Minister also announced that the large kindergarten section classes will be split into REP “at the start of the school year in September 2024”. “Today, 75 % of the classes are,” said Pap Ndiaye. Apart from the priority education networks, “almost all of large section classes, CP and CE1” is capped at twenty-four students, recalled the minister.
The return to the school of the twelve million students, the 1 er September, “promises to be in conditions fairly similar to last year while the conditions [of recruitment of teachers] have deteriorated, “said the Minister on France on Thursday evening 2. The conditions are” suitable, I would not say optimal “.
