They are worried about the future of school sport and the UNSS. Some mobilized in Habère-Poche on Wednesday.
Anger is rising among sports teachers! They are worried about the future of school sport and are opposed to the management of the UNSS, the National Union of School Sports.
Few people at the departmental cross country in Habère-Poche
700 students participated in the UNSS departmental cross-country race on Wednesday in Les Moises in Vallée Verte, far from the 1,300 expected. As a sign of protest, no high school student participated in this departmental cross and many colleges decided not to participate.
Controversy around management
Teachers denounce a lack of support for school sport. Supported by the SNEP-FSU union, they point to the increase in affiliation and licensing costs, the reduction in animation credits and competitions, all in a context of a budget deficit of 12.3 million euros at the level. national. Faced with these decisions, the teachers are demanding the departure of the National Director of the UNSS, the former captain of the French handball team Olivier Girault. Teachers also ask for subsidies to guarantee quality sporting activity for students. They recall that while resources are falling, the remuneration of the highest executives of the UNSS has been increased by 13%.
Explanations from SNEP-FSU 74:
“While PE teachers struggle every day to keep their sports associations alive and tighten their belts, the UNSS national management persists in intolerable budgetary choices for the public school sports service:
– it increases the affiliation amount by 25%
– it increases the price of the license by 9%
– it reduces animation credits (aid provided to establishment AS)
– it reduces the number of French championships
– it reduces the number of meetings by modifying the federal regulations against the advice of AS leaders.
What is happening is a shame because the national leadership has not hesitated during this time to increase the remuneration of its most senior executives by 13%, to call on external consulting firms and to increase the haemorrhage of expenditure of transport with an unrealistic “Transport” framework agreement.”
