Inexorably, the figures deteriorate. For the first time since 2011 and the first survey on the school climate in primary schools carried out by the Autonomous Secular Solidarity (ASL), an association which works for the protection and legal advice of national education personnel, the majority primary level staff (52%) say they are dissatisfied with their job. A “tipping point has been reached” and he is “at least as worrying as the lack of “vocation” », underline Eric Debarbieux and Benjamin Moignard, professors of educational sciences and authors of the report released on Friday October 12. Those dissatisfied were less than 40% in 2016.
The data collected at the end of this study carried out among 8,206 people, almost three-quarters of whom were teachers, “are cruel for public policies” et “genuinely worrying for our education system”estimate the researchers.
Firstly, they show a deterioration in the perception of the school climate, which, although it remains predominantly positive, is only so for 58.5% of those questioned, compared to more than 73% in 2011. However, “it is not the relationships of teachers with students that are in question”, notes the report. The deterioration is rather observed in the relationship with parents, with 27.5% of staff not feeling respected, compared to 15% in 2011.
“Feeling of social downgrading”
To counter certain preconceived ideas, the authors of the survey specify that “it is not the parents of schools located in a priority education system who are judged to be the least respectful”. Violence against staff has not increased and more than 90% of them say they feel safe in their school. Nearly 40%, however, report insults during the school year, primarily from parents, and almost 18% say they have been harassed.

It is especially “an immense feeling of social downgrading and hierarchical and political contempt” that this 2023 edition highlights. “strong resentment against the senior hierarchy and the ministers in charge of national education in recent years” is expressed through the results, in which 74% of staff say they do not feel respected. This figure is close to 78% among teachers. The survey sees salary demands taking a more important place than before, and confirms the grievances against the conduct of reforms and ministerial injunctions.
