Question 16211 — state civil service

Summary

Mr. Hadrien Clouet alerts the Minister of National Education to the excessively low remuneration of teachers who correct two national tests, the national diploma of the Brevet (DNB) and the baccalaureate. Thus, the decree of April 13, 2012 published in the Official Journal of May 2, 2012 sets in particular the amounts of remuneration for the operating activities of examination boards leading to the issuance of diplomas or certificates under the authority of the Minister responsible for national education. These amounts of remuneration vary depending on the corrected tests, but have the common point of being excessively low. Thus, the DNB correction rate is set at only 75 euro cents per copy! The jurors for the DNB oral tests are paid between 4.11 euros and 9.46 euros per hour, while the DNB practical tests are paid between 5.07 euros and 9.46 euros per hour. For the general baccalaureate, the rates are higher but largely insufficient in view of the time devoted, the concentration required and the heavy responsibility which weighs on the correctors in view of the challenge. Thus, a copy of the general baccalaureate is paid 5 euros, while the jurors of the oral tests and practical tests receive between 11.40 euros and 13.72 euros per hour. The rating is derisory. First, because these paltry amounts have been blocked since 2012. Second, because despite the 2012 decree, teachers testify that they are never paid as jurors for oral exams. Furthermore, teachers correcting French tests are well paid 0.75 euros... but for 3 copies, since a DNB candidate composes separate copies in questions, dictation and writing - and this, in clear violation of the decree which establishes the price per copy, not per proof. The compensation for correctors of French written tests is therefore divided by 3, or by 2 for SVT, physics-chemistry and technology correctors. These underpayments take place in severely degraded correction conditions, with the introduction of the disastrous Santorin software which organizes the close surveillance of correctors. The software implemented in 2020 subjects teachers to infantilizing managerial methods worthy of the most despotic multinationals, recording the correction time per copy and retaining the break time between the correction of two copies. This pressure on teachers, who find themselves monitored by the software, forces them to correct quickly, thus increasing their stress and dividing their concentration between the content of the copy and the watch. The teachers, daily accustomed to the comfort of correcting paper copies find themselves forced to correct on screen, which is particularly exhausting and causes eye fatigue which can lead to migraines, a loss of attention and impacts the quality of sleep. So he asks him if he will revalue the amounts of remuneration for the operating activities of the examination boards leading to the issuance of diplomas or certificates under the authority of the minister responsible for national education.
