11:03 a.m .: In Guadeloupe, major mobilization in education

Since December 5, in Guadeloupe, the social movement against pension reform, combined with demands against the drop in teaching staff, has blocked a very large part of schools, colleges and high schools. “The movement has gotten tougher since January,” Eddy Segur of the FSU union said on Tuesday.

In fact, over the past two weeks, numerous local demands have come to strengthen the mobilization of teachers.

“We are mobilizing against pension reform, of course, but also against the forecast of the abolition of 72 positions,” say the teachers of the Maurice-Satineau college in Baie-Mahault, gathered in front of the grid, every morning, before to join the rectorate to come and swell the ranks of the picket line. As a result, a large part of the children have not been going to school for several weeks.
