In the Cher department, the elimination of 19 teaching positions is expected in the new school map which will be detailed on Tuesday February 13. A situation that the hundred parents, teachers and elected officials who demonstrated this Sunday do not accept.
There were around a hundred of them, in front of the premises of the academic directorate of the national education services of Cher, on Sunday February 11 to say “non“to the department’s new school map.”We are going to lose 19 positions, it’s huge”underlines Kévin Dupleix, departmental co-secretary of the FSU.
Details of the number of classes open or closed will be announced on Tuesday February 13. “We are fighting for more resources. To have a fairly satisfactory school map you need 37 more positions“, adds Kévin Dupleix. The polar opposite, therefore, of what is currently planned.
Having a slightly leaner workforce allows you to work much better.

At the start of the school year in September 2024, Cher classes will have 500 fewer children. This is the reason given for reorganizing the workforce.
An event organized on a Sunday, which is unusual, but desired”to bring together as many people as possible, parents, teachers, elected officials” explains Kévin Dupleix.

Several elected officials have asked for a moratorium on this new school map. “Today we can resolve the issue with a budgetary increase of only 100 million euros at the French level. In other words, nothing“, assures Nicolas Sansu, deputy for the 2nd constituency of Cher.
National education is not a game and we are not having fun reducing spending on this subject.

“All children need to be well supervised, teachers need to be more numerous and better trained“, he continues.
Estelle Lauvrejat-Trépin, teacher, laughs yellow: “It’s easy to communicate, to say that school is a priority, but not to put the budget into having the means to make public school a real priority.“.
To those who have their eyes fixed on France’s poor results in the PISA studies she responds: “you have to look at the average number of students in OECD countries, it is 19, and in France it is almost 22“.
“We are going to close classes where there are 22 on average, where these are good conditions for learning, it is completely illogical” continues the co-secretary of FSU SNUIPP.
In Chautay, 260 inhabitants, the school welcomes 16 students from the small section to CM2 “and we want to shut uplaments Mélanie Bau-Barat, parent of a student. This is one of the last unique classes in Cher“Here too, the reason is the low number of students.”yet every year for the past three years we have had an increasing number of people“.
Our school is the symbol of rural life in the Cher. If it closes, the town dies with it. Each school that closes is a village that finds itself in an extremely delicate situation.

“My son is five years old, he is in the major section, he knows how to read, speak English, he knows how to count up to much more than what the programs provide. It’s a magnificent pedagogy. The single class is a family, values of solidarity”, insists Mélanie Bau-Barat, sign in hand.
