The rector wants to be reassuring: the conditions for the course of the next school year should be “more serene”. A conditional only due to the never quite zero probability of last minute imponderables, because on the preparation side, “the teams have done a tremendous job”.

It goes without saying… But even better by saying it: like last year, Rector Laganier went this Wednesday, August 23 to meet the staff, on the front line within the academic services, in charge of preparing the next Back to School. Within the directions of the school organization and the teaching staff, the rector underlined the enormous work accomplished for almost a year. “Because we don’t necessarily imagine it and we probably don’t say it enough: the preparation for this start of the 2023 school year began, in fact, as early as September 2022! “, recalled Richard Laganier, paying tribute “to the enormous work accomplished by all the teams” and emphasizing the one she leads, in the home straight, engaged since August 15th. A multiplicity of tasks, including the answers given to the interlocutors who, in the field, will deal with things operationally on D-Day: teachers, whether they are tenured, recent winners of competitions or contract workers, heads of establishments, etc.
HRD nightmare
For the record, the Nancy-Metz academy will have some 1,200 contract teachers in the second degree at the start of the next school year and 175 in the first degree, representing respectively 8.5 and 15% of the total, stable figures. Contract workers, a good hundred of whom won one of the competitions this year, adding to the complexity of recruitment, not to mention the some 400 trainees who will integrate at the start of the school year. A HRD nightmare which is practically an “ordinary year” for the institution. With the focus, “the need to go beyond the simple management of flows to offer quality”, insists the rector Laganier who highlights in particular the attention paid to each recruitment and the volume of training – ten days – offered to contract workers. For example. Another singularity: the implementation of the new PACTE provisions at this start of the school year, bringing new educational perspectives but also potentially synonymous with organizational complexity.
Serenity
To the question posed abruptly to the new Minister of National Education, Gabriel Attal, last week – “Will there be a teacher in front of each student? » –, Richard Laganier replies with unfeigned calm: « What is certain is that the preparation took place in much calmer conditions than last year and that we are ready! Now, to tell you that there won’t be, at the last moment, here or there, a last-minute absence or illness, I can’t do that… Moreover, certain disciplines remain more difficult, German for example, but also Letters-History or Maths-Sciences in the professional sector”. An encouraging sign in support of the rector’s optimism: the telephone rings much less in the various dedicated cells, in charge of settling last-minute trouble spots. “Ten times less than in 2022”, assure the staff in charge. In total, future hazards should therefore not exceed the thickness of the line.
Fingers crossed for the students.
