Tuesday January 17, 2023, the day after the Social Committee for Academic Administration (CSAA), Mostafa Fourar, the rector of the academy of Toulouse, presented the figures and the main directions for the start of the school year in our region. An academy which brings together, let us remember, the departments of the former Midi-Pyrénées region, i.e. Haute-Garonne, Lot, Gers, Aveyron, Ariège, Hautes-Pyrénées, Tarn-et -Garonne and the Tarn. The five other departments of present-day Occitania, namely Hérault, Gard, Pyrénées-Orientales, Lozère and Aude, are part of the Montpellier Academy.
Declining enrollment in the first degree…
At the teacher level, the estimates are mixed. In the first degree (nursery and primary school), 42 FTE (full-time equivalent) will be suppressed in the Toulouse Academy.
… and rise in the second degree
In the second degree (college and high school), on the other hand, 75 additional positions will be created, “of which 25 will be assigned to the replacement. I no longer want teacher replacements to be the adjustment variable,” the rector of the Academy made clear.
For Pierre Priouret, academic secretary of the Snes-FSU union, these 25 posts “are only technical regularizations of posts already used. The rector neglects the increase in numbers (+1,300 students at the start of the school year): under these conditions, the level of supervision of even remote students, and there is a lack of a hundred teaching jobs to keep it constant”.
“The prize goes to the Tarn”…
The trade unionist drives the point home on the case of colleges and high schools.
Concretely, the second degree will be weakened in most departments of the academy: 11 positions deleted in Aveyron and as many in Gers; – 10 positions in the Lot; -3.5 positions in the Hautes-Pyrénées; – 7 substations in the Tarn et Garonne. The palm goes to the Tarn, which loses 21 teaching positions in colleges and high schools, for only 125 fewer students! If the Haute-Garonne will benefit from 95 additional posts, the equivalent of 2 middle schools or average, the increase in staff there will be nearly 1,600 students, or 4 middle schools… Ariège retains its workforce, and gains only 2 posts , which will not improve working and study conditions”.
The rectorate wants to adapt to demographics
The rectorate explains that it wants to adapt to the demographic situation.
At the start of the 2023 school year, a demographic decline is expected: the forecast for public 1st degree enrollments foresees 2,099 fewer students in the academy, i.e. -0.9% corresponding to a workforce of 233,705 students.
In the Academy, concerning the first degree sector, the department which loses the most students is Tarn (-1.9%), ahead of Ariège (-1.5%). The Haute-Garonne, it should lose 580 pupils (-0.5%) for a total workforce of 120,116. of GS in priority education, support for inclusive schools and reinforcement of replacement”, continues the Academy.
For Mostafa Fourar, “the supervision rate will increase mechanically with the drop in numbers”.
Haute-Garonne: +1593 in colleges and high schools
Regarding the second degree, the landscape is unbalanced from one territory to another. All departments will lose students at the start of the 2023 school yearwith the exception of Hautes-Pyrénées (+ 0.2%) and especially Haute-Garonne (+ 1.5% with an increase of 1,593 pupils). In total, we attend 1,274 additional students in our colleges and high schools. “We are seeing an increase in general and technological high schools (LGT) and vocational high schools (LP) but a drop in the post-baccalaureate and BTS category”, deciphers the rector.
Sharp increase in students with disabilities
The start of the 2023 school year in the Toulouse Academy will also be marked by a very strong increase in the enrollment of students with disabilities. In the desire for a “more inclusive school”, as the rector Mostafa Fourar hammered it, more than 28,000 students will be enrolled at the start of the school year. “It’s an increase of 34% compared to 2021 and 300% compared to 2014”, observes Mostafa Fourar.
Of this number, 19,700 are accompanied by an accompanying person for students with disabilities (AESH).
To be recognized as disabled, a student must receive a notification from the Departmental House for Disabled Persons (MDPH). This, present in each department, is in fact a public interest group (GIP) associating the Departmental Council (which is responsible for it), the State, representatives of local health insurance and family allowance organizations ( CPAM, CAF, Mutualité française) as well as associations representing people with disabilities.
