Emmanuel Macron wants “post-baccalaureate training” for teachers, in order to allow young people to be trained earlier in this profession, and asked the Minister of Education Gabriel Attal to work on this subject, has he announced on Friday.
“What I asked the minister is to work on training. What we want to do is also post-baccalaureate training, professionalizing, more visible, which will allow us to better plan our needs and in a way return to a system we knew in the past, which worked, which is a bit like that of the Normal Schools, ”said the Head of State to journalists, during a trip for the pre-entry of teachers to a professional high school in Orange (Vaucluse).
Objective: set up a device “in the spring”
“We must be able to allow our young bachelors and bachelors who want to pursue this beautiful profession to be trained in the fundamental knowledge necessary for the teaching profession from post-baccalaureate, to have an integrated training, which will also allow us, in relation to the needs that we know in 3, 4, 5 years from now, to have the right recruitment system and not simply to open competitions year after year, ”he added.
A little earlier, during a videoconference with heads of vocational high schools, President Macron had already indicated that he had asked the minister to “work” on this system “in the coming months”, so that “we can mount it in the spring and deploy it”.
“I think we need to completely change the recruitment system for our teachers”
“I think we need to completely change the recruitment system for our teachers,” he added, without specifying whether this new system would concern primary and secondary teachers and whether it would be the only possible way of training. .
“By recruiting post-baccalaureate, we give visibility to graduates interested in the teaching profession, we support them”, he had developed. “And we are limiting one of the phenomena that we have today, which sometimes creates frustration and which in my opinion is under-effective, that is to say having some of our teachers returning after a university course that is totally disproportionate and sometimes decorrelated with what they are going to do”.
Teacher recruitment competitions currently take place in the second year of the master’s, ie five years after obtaining the baccalaureate. Faced with the shortage of candidates for teacher competitions, the previous Minister of Education Pap Ndiaye had indicated in June that he wanted to bring back the recruitment competition for school teachers to bac + 3 “in 2025”.
