Samuel Rohrbach: the French-speaking and critical voice of teachers

This crisis has seen the emergence of new personalities. Doctors, scientists, or other key players in semi-containment. Among them, Samuel Rohrbach, the voice of the teachers. At the head of the Union of French-speaking teachers for four years, the Jurassian has become an essential figure. For more than two months, he constantly relayed in all media the fears of his colleagues, their inventiveness and their commitment to this new form of education. Reacting very quickly, to all the decisions of the Federal Council or the cantons on the schools, he always took the opportunity to slip in some claims and enhance his profession. Expected for a trade unionist.

For the past week, Samuel Rohrbach has also found his students at the Val Terbi Secondary School, located in Vicques, very close to Delémont. This year, he teaches history and economics: “Everything went well. Despite some fear of the virus, we all had a lot of fun seeing the children again. We had to get used to teaching differently. The hardest part for me is not being able to go directly to the students when they have questions. ” Remarks far from the very clear positions taken by Lake Geneva sections which denounced a hasty reopening of the schools and reproached the authorities for making children and teachers guinea pigs: “We had fears. It was complicated because Daniel Koch and the Federal Council task force did not say the same thing about the risks. And the fear is still there. Some colleagues still don’t go to the master room. ” Serious look, he did not hide his concern: “A second wave would be terrible, it would be necessary to reorganize the school at home or in any case find a mixed solution.”
