Question 27548 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Jean-Philippe Nilor alerts the Minister of National Education and Youth to the effects of the mobilization of Martinique teachers. Since December 5, 2019, the pension reform project has mobilized Martinican teachers, more determined than ever to make their grievances heard. On the front line in the social movements which are shaking all territories, they have continued to oppose this project which, not only, will considerably reduce their pension but will also worsen the inequalities and difficulties linked to the exercise of their profession. Devaluation, lack of resources, deterioration of their working conditions, loss of sense of their mission have exposed many of them to burnout, when not suicide. It is in this general, extremely degraded context that they are demanding the means necessary to accomplish their mission. Besides their firm opposition to this reform, they refuse the job cuts which will particularly affect this territory. By proposing to go from a forecast of 76 job cuts to 40 and by brandishing 49.3 to pass this very unpopular pension reform, the Government has created the conditions for this conflict to get bogged down and for a radicalization of the strikers which paralyzes the school community and accentuates the divide between strikers and non-strikers as well as numerous excesses. Once again, it is Martinican students and families who suffer. It seems that they are considered as adjustment variables of a discriminatory policy which, favoring a purely accounting logic, in no way takes into account the needs of this territory, in this area as in many others. As school exams approach, it is the question of the right to education and the exercise of the sovereign mission of the State that arises. It is inconceivable that the deployment of the means necessary for the success of young Martinicans would be hindered, for whatever reason. Thus, beyond the question of pensions, this mobilization highlights proven territorial discrimination which deprives Martinique of the means required for educational support. of its populations. Despite its regrettable consequences which risk leaving scars within the school community, the legitimacy of this movement is beyond doubt. The temptation to play one's rottenness would be neither responsible nor acceptable. He asks him when he is going to undertake real negotiations with the teachers' representatives to promote understanding of their expectations, respond to their needs and allow classes to resume in Martinique schools as quickly as possible.
