Question 7303 — teaching

Summary

Ms. Rachel Keke alerts the Minister of National Education and Youth about the shortage of support workers for students with disabilities (AESH) and its consequences on these children and the school. More than 435,000 students with disabilities returned to school in September 2022, with 132,500 carers for children with disabilities (AESH). The school year is particularly catastrophic for many of these students, as well as for their families and educational teams. If we take the very concrete case of a nursery school in Chevilly-Larue (94), four children are entitled to individual notification and two children are entitled to shared aid. Only three positions are filled. With an AESH on sick leave, the school only has two support workers, who plan to resign at the end of the school year. In this town of 20,000 inhabitants, twelve AESH are missing. At the start of the school year in 1964, Val-de-Marne had 1,895 individual notifications for 1,895 AESH workers and 5,726 shared notifications. The employment ceiling was already far from being reached. These figures cover suffering on all scales. Students with disabilities are the first victims of this shortage of AESH personnel which obviously aggravates their learning difficulties. and inclusion. This is an unacceptable situation for parents who, after the difficult acceptance of the disability and the overly long procedure to obtain MDPH notification, are told that there is no carer for their child. This lack of support too often leads to the exclusion of students from school, whose parents, most often mothers, are forced to give up their jobs to educate their child. at home: a situation which is not without financial consequences, particularly in the context of austerity and inflation which is imposed on the French today. Other parents opt for the recruitment of private AESH, a phenomenon which, de facto, calls into question the very principle of equality in access to education. The shortage of AESH is also significant for the learning of other students: “We have to lock the class to prevent a student from running away”, testify in another school, teachers and Atsem. The teams deplore that this security necessary for some comes at the expense of good learning for all. Finally, everywhere in France, the AESH in post suffer from understaffing: “Who can manage two, three, even four children with four different disabilities in the same class? Person ! This is abuse! », reports a accompanying person in a primary school in Garonne. The institutional mistreatment suffered by the students is reminiscent of that described by public hospital staff on patients. However, the causes linked to the lack of attractiveness have been established for a number of years: unsustainable working conditions for a salary of around 800 euros per month and assignments in sometimes 20 educational establishments, distributed over vast territories. The profession is not recognized, despite its eminently essential nature. This is a public service mission carried out 93% by women, reduced to precariousness, living below the poverty line. These companions generally have to supplement their salary by contracting one or more jobs with the local community or in the private sector. Everyone testifies to the absence of recognition, training, information and allocated resources, a situation in which the only salutary horizon remains resignation. However, solutions exist, such as tenure, with category B civil servant status, a salary at 100% of the minimum wage for 24 hours, qualifying training, the abandonment of PIALs and compliance with MDPH notifications. While the inclusion of people with disabilities constitutes a national priority, it asks him about the action that the Government intends to implement from the next school year to allow both students to benefit from the support to which they are entitled and AESH to be able to carry out their mission in decent conditions.
