Back to school: faced with the shortage of teachers, substitutes to the rescue

“College of Eure-et-Loir: it lacks an English teacher, one of maths, one of classics, the nurse and two bus drivers”, lists a teacher. “Vacancies in my college for this pre-entry: there is a lack of a deputy principal, two teachers (German and technology) and a technical agent. The year is off to a good start,” writes a teacher from a college in Normandy. The social network Twitter lists dozens of findings of this nature under the hashtag #NotreVraieRentrée, launched by the Snes-FSU last week. Where the Minister of National Education, Pap Ndiaye, spoke of a return to school which had “gone well”, the main union of secondary school teachers wanted to oppose him with the reality on the ground.
