Student precariousness: these two words made the headlines last year in the midst of a health crisis. It took the mobilization launched by the UEC bringing together thousands of students all over France for the subject to become one and for the President of the Republic to release CROUS meals at 1 € for all.
In September, the government of the time reversed this measure: with the reopening of the universities, student precariousness seemed to have disappeared, the media no longer mentioned it.
We are at the end of June, inflation is particularly impacting students. No emergency measures were offered to them.
Students who don’t have money, who work on the side of their studies to finance them, who screw up at university because their job prevents them from studying, who skip a meal, who stand in line in front of the organizations of Food aid, we only talk about it every two months in the media like a booster shot. But the subject seems to have become as commonplace as the defeat of OM in the Champions League.
During the presidential campaign, the French Communist Party very rightly brought the subject back on the table with this sentence from Fabien Roussel: “a society that mortgages its youth is a society that mortgages its future”.
And for good reason, it is inconceivable to get used to such a situation, student precariousness is not inevitable. Society must invest in the training of its youth. Putting an end to student precariousness is a necessity for young people, for society.
The communist deputies will be able to bring this subject very rightly to the National Assembly and the UEC will continue to bring the need for the establishment of an income for students.
