DISPATCH — Once again, the unions are sounding the alarm about the cruel lack of teachers. Tuesday, June 20, they indicated that more than 1,250 positions were not filled in the external competition for school teachers.

“The collapse is dramatic in the academies of Créteil, Versailles and Guyana”, alarmed the general secretary of the SE-Unsa union, Élisabeth Allain-Moreno. “The recruitment crisis has become a real haemorrhage that nothing can stop,” she continues, judging “vital that the Ministry of National Education react”.

Although there are fewer positions lost this year than the previous one, the curve is still tending downwards. As AFP reports, according to data accessible on the Cyclades platform of the Ministry of National Education, 1,264 positions have not been filled out of the 8,174 positions open for the external competition for school teachers. This is the main competition.

Ultimately, this therefore means that 84.5% of the positions offered have been filled, compared to 75.7% in 2022.

The academies of Versailles, Créteil and Guyane, traditionally in deficit, are particularly affected: 605 candidates admitted to Créteil for 1,166 positions (i.e. 561 unfilled positions), 707 at Versailles for 1,285 positions (578 unfilled positions) and 50 in Guyana for 165 positions (115 unfilled positions).

For the moment, the Ministry of Education is waiting for the figures to be “consolidated” before reacting. Having said that, we already know what their first measure will be: to resort to the best candidates… among those who have not been admitted to the competitions… It was a request from the unions.

“This authorization comes in advance compared to last year” to allow the academies to assign them “at the same time as those registered on the main list”, explains AFP.
