Question 15861 — nursery and primary education

Summary

Ms. Élisabeth Toutut-Picard draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the working conditions of school teachers. According to a 2010 INSEE study, teachers work on average 44 hours per week. In addition to the 24 hours a week of lessons, there are hours of help for students in difficulty, as well as a significant amount of preparatory work, documentation, correction, teamwork, participation in school councils and discussions with parents. And if teachers benefit from all school holidays (i.e. 16 weeks per year), they also work during their holidays (up to 20 days in primary schools), including summer. In view of their commitment, teachers believe that they are not sufficiently valued: their level of salary, which would be one of the lowest in Europe, has changed little in recent years, due to the freezing of civil servants' index points, and their purchasing power has even decreased, due to inflation. She asks him to please specify the measures envisaged by the Government to improve the working conditions of school teachers. She particularly wishes to know her position on the hypothesis of a reduction to 25 in the maximum number of students per class.
