Education strike: a warning for the government

Around 40% of strikers announced by the unions in the secondary and 30% in the first degree. Rather a success for the first national day of teacher strike since the pension dispute a year ago. Even if the Ministry of National Education communicates a reduced strike rate at 11.72% in schools and 12.59% in colleges and high schools. The entire educational community was represented today: from teachers to AEDs, school nurses and students. Finally, at least one in four National Education staff participated in the mobilization day, even if the situations from one establishment to another are very disparate.

However, the success of this strike was not announced, at a time when a gloomy climate reigns and where questions about a third confinement, as on the state of the epidemiological situation, remain dominant. Demonstrations have nevertheless taken place in many cities in France, bringing together 8,000 people in Paris and 2,000 in Nantes and Lyon, or even more than a thousand in Montpellier. In any case, a mobilization in the form of a warning for the government. Neither its Grenelle education forum on teacher remuneration nor its health measures in establishments have so far convinced.

On the strength of this day of mobilization, conflicts could appear again, at least locally as in the fall, in the coming weeks, depending on health developments and the mistakes of the ministry to deal with them.
