This movement, to defend equal opportunities, was initiated by six high schools in Vénissieux, Villeurbanne, Vaulx-en-Velin and Rillieux-la-Pape. About fifty teachers and staff from these establishments demonstrated in front of the rectorate on Tuesday in Lyon in order to attract the attention of the new Minister of National Education, Pap Ndiaye.
“I’m not doing my job”
Since the priority education zones (ZEP) were abolished to make way for the priority education networks (REP) or REP + (for more sensitive establishments), in 2015, high schools in working-class neighborhoods say they are “at the end of their “.
As explained by Laurent, a teacher present at the event: “the progressive allocations of resources (APM) allocated to the establishments concerned are not sufficient” adding that these high schools always welcome more but without additional means. Result ? “A lack of pedagogical follow-up for difficult students”. “Me, today, I’m not doing my job” sighs Jean-Baptiste, professor of history and geography.

” Nothing will change “
These teachers intend to get out of “a system that allows inequality”, adds Jean-Baptiste.
