As soon as consultations are resumed on the revaluation of the teaching profession on Wednesday, January 18, at the Ministry of Education, several union organizations expressed their doubts about the outcome of the process, the end of which is planned in mid-March.
After a first phase in the fall to “share an inventory”, interrupted in mid-November by the professional elections, the Minister of National Education, Pap Ndiaye, “opened today, in Presence of all representative trade union organizations, a new consultation phase on the attractiveness and revaluation of the teaching profession “, announces rue de Grenelle in a press release. “The consultations on the detail of the measures are committed to today. This phase will be as wide as possible,” added the ministry, adding that “the objective is to conclude consultation in March”.
According to the calendar presented to the unions, a first meeting will take place next week on the “base” part of the revaluation, which concerns the greatest number of teachers, before a consultation in early February on the part of the rise to new missions. The conclusion meeting is scheduled for March 13. 2> “Disappointment”
The FSU, the first teaching union federation, expressed its disappointment. “Nine months after the promises of the President of the Republic, eight months after his entry into office, four months after the start of discussions on the subject, still no progress on the issue of wages after the meeting led by the Minister today!” , she deplored in a press release. For Sophie Venetitay, secretary general of SNES-FSU, first secondary union, “it will be necessary very quickly that the ministry fell off her cards and that we can get into the heart of the matter”. “Since October, on a marathon, we may have advanced 500 meters,” she said.
“The procrastination, reformulations, misunderstandings nourish distrust. Staff are waiting a lot, but they are tested,” regretted Catherine Nave-Bekhti, secretary general of Sgen-CFDT. “After promising a shock of attractiveness, the minister runs the risk of a shock of disappointment,” said Stéphane Crochet, from SE-UNSA. “We have very strong doubts that there are real margins of evolution compared to projects which are probably ready.”
