Question 5732 — secondary education

Summary

Ms. Claire Lejeune draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of National Education, Higher Education and Research, to the non-replacement of teachers and the disruption in the continuity of the public education service that this entails. On February 21, 2025, the administrative court of Orléans ordered the State to compensate several families of students due to the failure to replace a French teacher one year whole. According to the Department of Evaluation, Foresight and Performance (DEPP), 15 million hours of lessons are lost each year for students due to these absences of replacement which lead to a worrying accumulation of hours of teaching not provided, particularly in fundamental subjects. Thus, at the Les Gâtines-René Cassin college in Savigny-sur-Orge, more than 2,400 hours of lessons were not provided by national education this year, particularly in mathematics, French and German, leaving many students without instruction in essential subjects. This situation is particularly critical for 6th grade students, where the level groups, introduced by the “shock of knowledge” reform, complicate any internal reorganization in establishments. For 3rd grade students, it seriously compromises the preparation for the certificate and in fact accentuates inequalities, primarily affecting the most vulnerable students. Furthermore, certain long-term absences, such as maternity leave, should be better anticipated, thus avoiding several months without classes. Beyond the students, this lack of teacher replacement weighs heavily on all establishments. School life staff and teaching teams, already understaffed, must manage a growing number of students constantly, to the detriment of their primary missions. Faced with this situation which jeopardizes the academic success of millions of students, the MP wishes to know what measures the Government intends to put in place to guarantee systematic replacement of absent teachers and thus ensure the continuity of the public education service. She would also like alert to the urgency of ensuring decent training, working and remuneration conditions for teachers, in order to restore the attractiveness of this profession which is now being dramatically undermined. She asks him what his intentions are on this matter.
