Thursday, January 14, teachers from priority education schools in Grand Mirail, Toulouse, were on strike to denounce the deterioration of their working conditions and those of their students.
Their general assembly drew up an overwhelming inventory of the situation of schools in the sector: chronic lack of teacher replacements, in addition to that of Atsem and technical staff, compromising several hundred half-days of class. since the beggining of the school year. There is a lack of 23 AESH positions (accompanying persons with disabilities), as well as places in the structures in charge of welcoming children who do not speak French. Added to this is a drastic reduction in support networks for pupils in difficulty and in school medicine, and the elimination of consultation time.
Joined on the meridian break by their non-striking colleagues, but just as revolted, they gathered around a hundred to show their anger and respond to the hypocrisy of this government which claims to care about students from disadvantaged backgrounds, to the cries of : “The Covid has a good back, these are the means we need! “ or : “REP + replacements removed, priority education at a discount”. Appointment was made for the national strike day of January 26.
