Teachers’ trade unions in both the basic and secondary education sectors, in the French system of education, have threatened to carry on a number of strike actions as of October 5 this year which falls on teachers’ day, if their plights are not resolved by the government.
In a release signed by heads of 12 trade unions at the start of week 3 of the academic year, the teachers demanded:
- the payment of debts owed by the state to teachers
- a guarantee of a real automation of Teachers’s career files be given, notably with the removal of commissions linked to readjustments and changes in grades,
- that the 3-month deadline given by the Ministry of Public Service and administrative reforms for the matriculation of teachers be respected.
- that budget allocations be disbursed for the monthly payment of salaries so as to avoid accumulating arrears,
- That a date for the National Education Forum be fixed and and announced
This threat comes after some teachers in some schools had since the start of the 2023-2024 academic year been observing strike actions in Operation Death Chalk movement.
