Question 5920 — nursery and primary education

Summary

Mrs Lisette Pollet alerts the Minister of State, Minister of National Education, Higher Education and Research on the consequences of not replacing absent teachers in primary schools and more particularly on the worrying situation observed at the Saint-James elementary school in Montélimar (Drôme). Since November 18, 2024, a CM1-CM2 class at this school has been deprived of teaching due to the absence extended period of the regular teacher. No lasting and structured replacement has been put in place. The pupils concerned, although at the end of the primary cycle, are either distributed to other classes without educational monitoring, or kept at home if the families can. This situation seriously penalizes their learning, their preparation for college entry and, more broadly, their right to education. This local case illustrates a national problem. According to a recent study by the Ministry of National Education, only 75% of absent teachers are replaced, revealing a structural fragility in the organization of the public education service. This shortage of replacements generates a breakdown in educational continuity, accentuates territorial inequalities and fuels school dropouts, particularly among the most vulnerable students. So she asks him the measures it intends to implement to guarantee the effective replacement of absent teachers in primary schools, ensure genuine educational continuity and thus meet the legitimate expectations of students and their families. She would also like to know if specific means are planned for schools faced with unanticipated prolonged absences, as is currently the case in Montélimar.
