Education. More than 4,000 unfilled teaching positions in competitions in 2022

More than 4,000 positions have not been filled during the teacher competitions organized in 2022 out of a total of 27,332 opened by National Education in the public and private sectors, the ministry announced on Thursday.

At the national level, the rate of positions filled in the first public degree is 83.1%, whereas it was 94.7% in 2021.

For colleges and high schools, the coverage rate, excluding additional lists, stands at 83.4% for the present session while it was 94.1% in 2021, said the Ministry of Education in a press release. .

Reinforcement of the recruitment of contract workers

This unprecedented crisis in teacher recruitment is reflected “in a strengthening of the recruitment of contract workers in order to prepare for the start of the 2022 school year in good conditions and to preserve replacement capacities in the academies”, said the Ministry of National Education.

As expected, the results of the first degree teacher competitions reveal serious recruitment deficits in the Ile-de-France academies.

Thus in the Créteil academy, the various competitions will make it possible to recruit a little more than 900 candidates out of the 1665 open positions. “The post differential will be covered by contract teachers,” the ministry said.

In the academy of Versailles, a little more than 900 candidates were admitted for 1600 positions put out to competition.

“The academy has also renewed more than 400 contractual staff and 600 new contractual teachers have already been recruited,” according to the ministry.

Classics and German are the positions with the fewest filling

In secondary education, in a certain number of disciplines with large enrollments, all open positions are filled (in particular in history-geography, Spanish, SVT, physical education and sports).

On the other hand, certain disciplines remain “under tension” such as classics, where 57% of the positions are filled, or German (55% of the positions filled against 70 to 81% during the three previous years).

Some disciplines have “insufficient” admission rates such as physics-chemistry where 66.7% of positions are filled (80 to 100% during the previous three years), mathematics where 68.5% of positions are filled (against 84 to 92% during the three previous years) or modern letters where 83.5% of positions are filled (compared to 98 to 100%).
