Question from Mr. WEBER Michaël (Moselle – SER) published on 10/31/2024
Mr. Michaël Weber questions the Minister of the Civil Service, Simplification and Transformation of Public Action about occupational health for national education personnel.
Since Ordinance No. 2020-1447 of November 25, 2020, the medical aptitude examination prior to entry into any position in national education has been abolished. Thus, since the start of the 2021 school year, teaching and education staff no longer have the obligation to attend an aptitude test after passing the competitive exam or being recruited.
The only remaining medical examination is therefore the one normally scheduled, every 5 years. However, despite such a possibility, it is very rare that this visit is carried out, leaving many teachers who nevertheless deal with a sometimes difficult public, without help and medical support available. Also, in 2019, only 87 prevention doctors were counted, for just over a million staff.
Mr. Senator would thus have liked to know if, rather than reproaching national education officials for their absences, which moreover represent the lowest rate of absenteeism according to figures from the general directorate of administration and the civil service (DGAFP), it would not be more judicious to guarantee them real medical monitoring identical to that offered to other civil service agents.
