This was one of Emmanuel Macron’s great proposals on education during the last presidential campaign: to offer a new “pact” to teachers and to pay more those who will accept additional missions. “The increase in the wages of teachers who will accept this pact will be able to go up to 20 %,” said the head of state in his letter to teachers on September 16. If 635 million euros are allocated in the 2023 budget for increases in wage without compensation from September, 300 million euros were provisioned for the remuneration of these “new missions”.
In an interview with L’Obs , at the end of October, the Minister of National Education, Pap Ndiaye , ensures that “at least 15 % of the teaching staff” may be rewarded on the basis of volunteer in 2023. “If the teachers are many to commit, what I want, it will be perfect and the means will follow” -Al added.
