Retired teachers, no more contract workers… The government's emergency plan for level groups

Set up level groups in middle school & the next school year turns out to be very complex. This measure requires a strengthening of the teaching staff, so that retired professors could be mobilized.

This Tuesday, April 2, several unions called for action. &agrav; the strike to demand in particular the abandonment of the level groups. Gabriel Attal launched&eac; a reform known as the "shock of knowledge" which aims to raise the level of students and one of the key measures is the level groups. Sixth and fifth grade students will then be divided into three groups according to their abilities in mathematics and mathematics. nbsp;frenchçais.

In a stopé of March 17, this device was finally implemented. renamed "groups as needed" and would leave the possibility a few full-class courses in these two subjects during the year. This turnaround is due to to the numerous criticisms that this device receives. If some deplore a measure which goes " sort" among the students and stigmatize the weakest, others fear a very laborious implementation. 

Nicole Belloubet, Minister of National Education, ensured that on France Inter, that the government will have "the means to set up level groups". Nevertheless, the lack of teachers could endanger such a project. As reported by Le Monde, an internal document of the human resources department of the ministry testifies, in fact, to a real lack of teachers while 2,330 positions would be necessary to create these groups. Of these 2,300, 1,500 would be recovered by the elimination of one hour of weekly lessons for all sixth-graders. th but an additional 830 must emerge otherwise.

Retired teachers return ?

To overcome this problem, according to a letter addressed to rectors on March 28 and in an "HR preparation plan for the start of the 2024 school year", & ;nbsp;que Le Café educational consulted, the government must have “recourse to” innovative solutions in order to cover the additional needs induced, explainedé the general director of human resources, Boris Melmoux-Eude. The strong tension on the teaching resource that we know calls for preliminary work. rigorous preparation for the start of the 2024 school year in order to have a sufficient number of staff from the start of the school year, he acknowledged.

According to this document, the government could therefore appeal for the start of the 2024 school year. teachers from primary schools for teaching French and mathematics in level groups in secondary schools. "Academies will have the opportunity to to carry out a communication and recruitment campaign for voluntary school teachers for a secondment in the two targeted disciplines towards school teachers from the departments of their academy", detailed the HR director. It would also be considered to recall retired teachers: "A little more than 1 000 teachers of literature and mathematics have left; retirement during the previous school year, across the entire territory, he quantified. For convince them to come back, the government could offer them a limited intervention time. over time as well as attractive remuneration.

A whole part of the government's plan also concerns contract workers. The ministry wishes to "retainélise" by offering "more attractive conditions". It would be offered to them; one-year contracts in an area of ​​their choice. The government thus seems to be placing very little emphasis on hiring new civil servants via competitions. National Education will also have to anticipate the "construction of jobs from time to June 30 at most" to organize these level groups.
