Question 8531 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Serge Letchimy draws the attention of the Minister of National Education to the job cuts in overseas academies, notably Martinique. In recent years, Martinique has lost many jobs, more than 900 in ten years. This situation poses a whole set of problems. If the demographic decline is one of the main arguments put forward to justify this drop in teaching numbers, the deletion appears unrelated to the drop in the number of students enrolled in Martinique establishments. According to the figures returned to him, there would be 647 fewer students in general and technological high schools and 33 more students in vocational high schools for 45 class cuts. At a rate of 28 students per class, the closures appear unrelated to the effects of the demographic decline. This This situation also generates a dramatic situation of under-management, as evidenced by the increasing use of non-permanent and temporary workers. Dramatic because in the overseas departments, regions and communities, the graduate rates are lower than elsewhere and the social difficulties are greater there. While the number of single-parent families is greater than elsewhere, 20% of establishments in the area are in school dropout, compared to 10% nationally. The proportions observed thus seem contrary to the social and economic criteria used for the classification of academies in terms of elimination/creation of positions (rate of graduates, age pyramid (number of young people), sector of activity and rate of single-parent families). He asks what measures are being considered to put an end to this policy which is clearly inappropriate reduction of teaching positions in Martinique in particular.
