In progress salary negotiations are stiffened as the government specifies its projects concerning the “teaching pact”, which crystallizes oppositions in the educational community. The Ministry of National Education detailed to trade union organizations on Wednesday, February 8, its proposals for the implementation of what it presents as a counterpart to unconditional revaluation – called “base” – and which consists in carrying out tasks additional in exchange for specific remuneration.

For the first time, the ministry has listed the missions it plans to include in the system to meet the evolution of the “expectations of users vis-à-vis the public service of national education”. Among them, certain tasks already carried out but not always remunerated, such as the coordination of discipline or the missions of “referents”. Others are part of the reforms announced or planned by the government, especially in the second degree.

thus appear in government proposals “coordination or intervention in innovative projects from the National Refoundation Council”, Emmanuel Macron flagship project, participation in the new time of support or deepening created In the 6th grade, to the “Duties made” system made compulsory for entrants to college, or to the “discovery of trades” that the government wants to implement from the 5 e . “It is a ultimately very political pact which becomes the tool for the implementation of Emmanuel Macron’s policy,” said Sophie Venetitay, secretary general of SNES-FSU, first second degree union.

“Where do we find time to do that?”

According to the working document given to representatives of the profession, which MO12345lemonde consulted, the remuneration of signatory teachers would be on average 3,650 euros gross per year, with the possibility of “modulating” the pacts according to the number of missions. Volunteer teachers will be required to perform a “panel” of tasks, some of which, considered to be “essential” by the ministry, will be compulsory.

In the second degree, where the institution does not provide for the assignment of replacements below fifteen days of absence of a teacher, the replacement of short duration within the establishments is thus erected as a priority. “A teacher who engages in the pact will necessarily have to devote part of his time to replacements,” insists on rue de Grenelle. In the first degree, teachers who would sign a pact would above all have to intervene in college as part of the new time of support in 6 e . Among the other possibilities, the ministry suggests “student mentoring” or participation in the “learning vacation” system.
