Question 14073 — teaching

Summary

Mr. Aurélien Dutremble alerts the Minister of National Education to the policy of eliminating teaching positions in primary education, which is once again hitting Saône-et-Loire hard as the start of the 2026 school year approaches. Nearly 22 positions could be eliminated in the department, in continuation of a policy which has already led to the closure of more than 267 classes between 2016 and 2025. Behind these figures, he there is a reality: that of a gradual abandonment of rural territories and a methodical weakening of local schools. These decisions are not neutral. In concrete terms, they mean busier classes, less available teachers and individualized support made impossible. They also mean weakened educational inclusion, even though the needs have never been so great. By dint of contradictions, the word public sector in education loses all credibility. Closing classes will automatically lead to an increase in numbers, making it more difficult to support students and degrading learning conditions. Educational inclusion cannot be effective without appropriate support conditions. Making classes heavier means weakening the paths of the most vulnerable students and putting educational teams in difficulty. Even more, these choices are incomprehensible in a context of demographic decline which should, on the contrary, make it possible to improve teaching conditions. Rather than seizing this opportunity to reduce class numbers and strengthen monitoring of students in difficulty, the Government is making the conscious choice of reducing resources. In doing so, he undermines what the republican pact is based on. Access to education and equality of opportunity are not secondary principles: they are at the heart of the Republic. Sacrificing them in the name of budgetary decisions amounts to accepting a multi-speed school and confirming the divide between territories. Through these decisions, a certain idea of ​​the Republic is called into question: that which guarantees every child, wherever they live, the same chances of success. In these conditions, he asks her whether he fully accepts this policy of decline in the public education service, whether he intends to reverse the announced job cuts and what concrete guarantees he intends to provide to preserve the schools of the Republic, particularly in rural areas.
