More and more French teachers are deciding to resign. On the tray of 23 hours of Franceinfo Tuesday November 23, the journalist of France Télévisions Gaël Giordana takes stock of a worrying phenomenon.

In France, many teachers have resigned. Tuesday, November 23, on the set of 23 hours of Franceinfo, the journalist of France Televisions Gaël Giordana reports that according to the figures of the National Education, “There are currently nearly 869,300 teachers in France, 726,800 working in the public sector. But we have noticed an increase in resignations for about ten years. In 2008, there were only 364 teachers who resigned, but from 2015, we really see an increase in resignations. Today, there are four times more than ten years ago. ”

1,648 teachers resigned in 2020-2021. They can ask “conventional terminations since last year. There were 296 granted by the ministry but there were four times as many requests”, indicates the journalist. In addition, there are currently “more than 700 vacant positions in National Education but there are enormous disparities between subjects. Some are downright shunned. For example mathematics: 9% of contracts were not filled last year for lack of candidates for competitions “, recalls Gaël Giordana. This is explained in particular by the low level of wages at the start of a career (2,400 euros gross per month against 2,900 euros in Spain or 4,900 in Germany) but also difficult working conditions or a career development deemed “too technocratic. “.
