The FSU-SNUipp 74 union responds to the reduction of teaching positions planned by the government.
The FSU-SNUipp 74 denounces the job cuts at school proposed by the government of Michel Barnier. While national education seems to be mired in a deep crisis, the decision to eliminate teaching positions arouses indignation and confusion in Haute-Savoie.
An alarming lack of teachers
The education situation in Haute-Savoie is alarming, according to the FSU-SNUipp union 74. Despite promises of one teacher per class, the start of the school year remains marked by a shortage of teachers. While the government chooses to eliminate 3,155 teaching positions in primary education, teachers and those supporting students with disabilities (AESH) are left alone to face themselves and face increasingly difficult working conditions. and more difficult.
Towards class closures?
Despite the temporary recruitment of around a hundred contract workers, the problem persists. Problem partly masked by the redeployment of replacement staff. This new decision could have serious consequences in Haute-Savoie:
- Class closures
- A growing lack of replacements
- A questioning of reduced numbers in Priority Education Networks (REP)
- Increased difficulty for part-time or availability requests
- An increase in numbers per class, while Haute-Savoie already stands out for having one of the highest rates of students per class in France
Degraded working conditions
Reports of teachers in distress are increasing. Alerts that fuel a cycle of resignations and work stoppages. According to FSU-SNUipp 74, the 2025 national education budget does not propose the necessary adjustments to increase the salaries of teachers and AESH, particularly in Haute-Savoie, where the cost of living remains high. The recruitment of 2,000 AESH is presented as progress, but without real recognition of their profession. The FSU-SNUipp 74 calls on the government of Michel Barnier for an honest dialogue with French citizens.
