gratitude. This is what Manuel Valls came to express audience of teachers and local officials who participated in two “days of the school’s refoundation” at Palais Brongniart in Paris. Suddenly a man in the public grid it priority and calls: “Thanks for the arrests of students for violence” The Prime Minister, who was about to speak again “I just thank the teachers, but also thank the security forces who have given a lot this year.” Smile corner. There are as cold in the room.
Valls recalled the large school assignments, citing Jaurès, noting each time the essential role of teachers, “teachers, youth teachers, these new “hussars” of the Republic render a great service to the nation “, he said in his speech. And “the best job in the world” , the teacher, in the words of the Prime Minister, not “is not learned on the job” , noting in passing that his government had restored their initial training, suppressed under Sarkozy. “60 000 jobs will be created during the five year term while enrollment underwent drastic cuts: 80,000 job cuts in five years’ , he argued, still remembering that ” The budget school education increased by 4.8 billion euros since 2012 “.
” a Question of fairness “
then came the moment of “recognition” as expected. Valls announced the alignment of compensation of primary school teachers (400 euros per year) to that enjoyed by their colleagues of the second degree (1200 euros). A “fairness issue” that will result in fact “next September, since the beginning of September 2016″ . The room applauds. “It was time for the government to translate the respect and recognition [for] the work of teachers.” The atmosphere has warmed. He dismissed the speech. “In a country that sees compensation bosses explode, increase teacher pay is the least of it,” he says. Applause more fed.
So the prime minister continued, before a relaxed support, taking stock of government action, listing the school’s ills and remedies implemented the past four years as part of the school’s refoundation of law: the priority given to primary schooling with less than 3 years, new school timetables and the reform of college and finally actions for school. Recognizing that it remained to be done on “post-bac orientation” and stall. “While we were there five years, 620 000 young people without qualifications, they are now less than 500 000. [...] We need to continue this process. [...] It is a goal of the personal account of activity included in the labor law “, pounding it.
“social and territorial apartheid”
Returning to the attacks on the dangers of social networking, Valls then spoke of secularism, “the first value that school must convey to their pupils “, he said, estimating that ” we have too often relaxed our vigilance “. He announced a meeting next week with several ministers for further accompanying measures “Teachers face the radicalization” . For “tackle segregation,” this “social and territorial apartheid” , “pilot experiments will be startups in twenty volunteers departments” . These experiments for “greater social mix in schools” be based on “new educational alliances” involving stakeholders and school partners ” on the entire territory “. Among the toolbox: digital. “From next September, [...] 25% of colleges and hundreds of schools will be connected [...] In 2018, all middle school students will have equipment and digital content adapted” , he asserted.
