For many teachers, this Tuesday, January 26, it was a return to the streets as teachers after the protests against the pension reform. Primary and secondary teachers who responded in Saint-Etienne as everywhere in France to the call of several unions: 35% did not take courses in middle and high schools in the Loire according to the trade unions. And above all, they were 800 marching in Saint-Etienne according to the unions, 300 according to the figures of the police, with among their demands: a salary increase.
This is the case with requests, among others, from Nadine Ferrapie, life-saving teacher for almost 20 years. She is now in a position shared between a college in Saint-Etienne and one in Bourg Argental. With 2000 euros on her payroll, she came to ask“a real salary increase” because according to her, the announcement last October of 400 million euros for National Education is far from the mark.

“For the moment, what is injected into the economy is billions and billions. Air France is 7 billion! And 0.4 billion euros for millions of staff that we are teachers, if we bring it back to everyone, it will be 10 or 20 euros!

Increase in wages but also grumbles against health crisis management by the Ministry of National Education. Anthony Crépet, History-Geography teacher at the Terrenoire College in Saint-Etienne, denounces a calamitous course of action.

A procession between the Labor Exchange and the academic direction of National Education which therefore relied mainly on teachers but there was also assistants of students with disabilities (AESH) like Taline Bouagal, AESH at Jacques Prévert college in Andrézieux Bouthéon and also representative of SNES in secondary education. For her, AESH is one of the forgotten by National Education.

“Emmanuel Macron had promised us a status, a salary just before his election. 3 and a half years later, we still and still expect nothing. We get a salary of 800 euros per month: it is between 650 and 850 euros! Our seniority is not recognized at all. I have been AESH for more than 8 years and I am still at the bottom of the echelon. We are not even concerned by this revaluation of 400 million euros and above all we do not was not even entitled to the equipment bonus of 150 euros that teachers have! While we also need IT tools to support our students. We are 1607 people to be AESH in the Loire and there today ‘ hui we are more than fed up! “
