It’s a soap opera that has been going on since September. The Robert-Doisneau high school in Corbeil-Essonnes (Essonne) is experiencing a particularly turbulent start to the 2024 school year, between schedule hiccups, lack of teachers and attacks against supervisory staff. A crisis which culminated with a series of blockades organized in front of the establishment by students.
This is the reason why the MP (NFP) for the 1st constituency of Essonne, Farida Amrani, took up pen and wrote a letter intended for the Minister of National Education, Anne Genetet, delivered by hand on November 19, specifies the missive.
The NFP MP develops the “fatigue” of an “administrative and educational team on the brink of collapse”, as well as “students stressed” by this “climate of anxiety-provoking chaos”. In Doisneau, the school year began, for certain classes, with timetables without any head or tail, sometimes without a lunch break. Hiccups which were resolved by… course cancellations. “I no longer have any math lessons, others don't have Spanish. Some people no longer know which room they should go to […] This return to school is really complicated,” said a first grade student.
Then the tension never really subsided. Added to these diary worries, this case of attack against a teacher, at the beginning of October, left a lasting impression. Several days of student mobilization in front of the gates followed, and intense tension with the supervisory team.
“The promise made by the rectorate to finalize the timetables by November 15 has not been kept, plunging students and teachers into permanent uncertainty,” also denounces the MP's letter. Farida Amrani contacted the rectorate several times but the latter “evaded many crucial points discussed”. A meeting between rector and delegation of students is requested by the NFP MP in the coming days.
