Toulouse: a concentration of striking teachers in priority education demonstrate at the rectorate
The striking teachers of priority education have in front of the rectorate of Toulouse. They were a target to claim, but were unable to secure a hearing.
A hundred teachers from the schools of the priority education network, in particular reinforced (REP +), began this Monday, December 6, in front of the Toulouse rectorate where the dialogue remained deaf between the demonstrators and their hierarchy. A mobilization and a call to strike launched by the majority union of the first degree Snuipp-FSU 31.
“Since the start of the school year, explains the Snuipp-FSU 31, the lack of teachers in the department and the refusal to appeal to the complementary list of the competition has led the rectorate, in addition to a massive use of contract workers, to mobilize a very large part of the replacements on vacant positions throughout the year. As a result, while the health situation is deteriorating, the number of non-triggered classes explodes in Haute-Garonne, up to nearly a hundred days, leaving several thousand children without education ”.
For the academic director of the national education services (Dasen) of Haute-Garonne Mathieu Sieye, the demands of striking teachers are out of step with the scale of the health crisis which mobilizes all resources.
“The REP + teachers, whom I am mobilizing this week and until Christmas, on replacement outside REP +, because we are in an unprecedented Covid situation,” explains the academy inspector. Now is the time for solidarity. The priority is replacement due to Covid. I ask them to show solidarity with everyone vis-à-vis the pandemic ”.
