Los profesores franceses se preparan para la huelga el 29 de noviembre para exigir al gobierno que amplíe la lista de escuelas secundarias de educación prioritaria, las cuales se reducirán.
El personal de las escuelas secundarias de educación prioritaria en Francia se pondrá en huelga el 29 de noviembre a instancias de los sindicatos SNES-FSU, SNUE-FSU, SNEP-FSU, SNFOLC, SNETAA-FO, CGT Educación y SUD.
Los sindicatos se oponen a la remoción de las escuelas de educación secundaria superior, conocidas como liceos, del mapa educativo prioritario implementado en 2014. El movimiento se está realizando a pesar del trabajo del sindicato para resaltar las dificultades experimentadas por estos liceos y su exigencia de que éstos se mantengan En la educación prioritaria. Las escuelas secundarias en zonas de educación prioritaria, reconocidas como zonas de desventaja, reciben recursos adicionales.
Recursos vitales
En una carta abierta al ministro francés de Educación, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, los sindicatos insisten en que la situación de los liceos no es diferente de la de los collèges, porque los mismos problemas económicos, sociales y educativos también están presentes en los Liceos
Los sindicatos pidieron al ministro que «extienda urgentemente las cláusulas de salvaguardia a todos los colegas, pero también a los recursos otorgados a los liceos de educación prioritaria para los próximos cursos escolares. Esto es esencial para mejorar las condiciones de trabajo del personal y las condiciones de aprendizaje de los estudiantes «.
Los sindicatos también han pedido un diálogo sobre la ampliación del mapa educativo prioritario para incluir los liceos generales, tecnológicos y vocacionales, basados en criterios nacionales y transparentes y en las necesidades de las instituciones.
Falta de actuación
La huelga prevista para el 29 de noviembre sigue a una movilización similar el 17 de noviembre, en respuesta a un llamamiento de la asociación interunionaria regional y varias secciones académicas del Sindicato Nacional de Enseñanzas del Segundo Degré (SNES-FSU). Una lista ampliada de escuelas secundarias superiores de educación prioritaria.
French teachers are preparing to strike on 29 November to demand the government to expand the list of priority education secondary schools, which are set to be reduced.
Staff of priority education secondary schools in France will go on strike on 29 November at the call of the inter-union SNES-FSU, SNUEP-FSU, SNEP-FSU, SNFOLC, SNETAA-FO, CGT Educ’action and SUD education.
The unions are opposing the removal of upper secondary education schools, known as lycées, from the priority education map implemented in 2014. The move is being made despite the union’s work to highlight the difficulties experienced by these lycées and their demands that the latter be kept in priority education. Secondary schools in priority education zones, recognised as areas of disadvantage, are being given additional resources.
Resources vital
In an open letter to French Education Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, the unions insist that the situation of the lycées is no different from that of the collèges, France’s lower secondary schools, because the same economic, social and educational issues are also present in the lycées.
The trade unions asked the minister “to urgently extend the safeguard clauses to all colleagues but also to the resources granted to the priority education lycées for the coming school terms. This is essential to improve the staff’s working conditions and the students’ learning conditions.”
The unions have also called for dialogue about expanding the priority education map to include general, technological and vocational lycées, based on national and transparent criteria and on the needs of institutions.
A failure to act
The expected 29 November strike follows a similar mobilisation on 17 November in response to a call from the regional interunion association and several academic sections of the Syndicat National des Enseignements de Second Degré (SNES-FSU).The first strike day demanded the urgent establishment of an expanded list of priority education upper secondary schools. The unions say that these actions are in response to what they say is a failure of the Minister of National Education to act on a 2015 commitment to create a new list of priority education secondary schools based on transparent criteria.
SNES-FSU: List of demands
“Secondary schools no longer being part of priority education would worsen inequalities, and considerably impact on studying and teaching conditions for students and staff. Economic and social difficulties do not end in primary schools,” warned SNES-FSU General Secretary Frédérique Rolet. “In the context of continuing economic crisis, education must be the favoured means of fighting inequalities at all levels.”
The SNES-FSU reaffirmed that general, technical and vocational secondary schools all have a place in priority education, and demands:
· An expanded list of priority education secondary schools based on need and which gives rise to specific timetables, enabling a significant reduction in the number of pupils per classroom
· A strengthening of multi-professional teams
· Allocation of compensation and maintained career bonuses for teaching staff

SGEN-CFDT: Unworkable scheme
The Syndicat général de l’éducation nationale (CFDT) believes the current system is unworkable given how it has evolved over time, according to the union’s general secretary, Catherine Nave-Bekhti.
Some secondary schools are managed under the national education scheme, others under the municipal’s policy – as is the case for the 58 secondary schools in “sensitive areas”. Others yet fall under several schemes. In addition, each categorisation provides different benefits: additional hours to limit the number of students per classroom, or working in half-groups, tutoring, projects, allowances, benefits for transfers and careers.
