The anger still roars Arthur-Rimbaud college in Donges (Loire-Atlantique). A meeting was organized on Saturday 3 December by the Parents’ Association in front of the factory. They denounce the failure to replace a technology teacher since the beginning of the school year.
There are 144 hours of missed lessons and 205 affected students of which 77 6ᵉ students, 41 4ᵉ students and 87 3ᵉ students, precise Technology is a compulsory subject and over 50% of university students are oriented towards a professional or technological path . How will the technology tests take place for these students during the university patent?
No replacement announced
The 2021/2022 school year had already been reduced by 238 hours of technology for 6ᵉ and 5ᵉ. A repetitive encore that exasperates parents as explained by Ilona Boulo, whose son has suffered once again the absence of a teacher :
This time it’s no longer about holes in the cheese, but a real open hole. National Education would have forgotten that Donges is in the Priority Education Network, that we are not told about equal opportunities!
Since the beginning of the school year, the ADCPE has sent a letter to the rector and to the director of academic services: “We have had telephone exchanges, but no written response and we have no prospect of a replacement to date”, specifies Lionel Moriclet.
Letter to the Minister of Education
The case is also known to Minister of Educationrecently seized by the situation from Matthias Tavel, deputy of the district, in the context of a written question to the Minister.
He asks him the reasons why the rectorate has not been able to deliver these courses since the beginning of the school year, then recalls that “these problems are far from being exceptional in this institution, or even becoming the norm, already in 2021, but also previous years for other subjects such as Spanish or music”.
Only the urgent appointment of a substitute teacher of technology and a response from the rectorate indicating the measures taken to make up for the many hours of lessons lost could allay the worries of the parents.
