An announcement effect, the 700 million euros allocated by the Minister of National Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, for the revaluation of teachers' salaries in 2022 at the end of the Grenelle education? The envelope unveiled by the minister on Wednesday evening may seem substantial, many teachers, collectives and unions deemed insufficient the measures announced at the end of this three-month consultation which aimed to "reflect on the modernizations of National Education ".

Among them, the teaching collective Les Stylos Rouges was particularly critical of this revaluation that the Minister of National Education wanted "historic" and made "very substantial increases".

In a vitriolic tweet which sends the minister back to his ambitions, the group of angry teachers denounced a "Grenelle de la Shame", which would in reality only grant "an increase of 30 euros for less than one third of teachers ”.

FAKE OFF

"If all teachers are affected by this envelope of 700 million euros, priority is still given to the beginnings of careers, so as to make the profession attractive", indicates the Ministry of National Education.

An attractiveness bonus, following on from the work carried out in 2020 with the social partners, will thus be granted from May to full and equivalent professors up to the 7th grade, i.e. up to the 15th year of their career.

"A tenured teacher who is doing his first year will earn up to 100 euros per month as of this month," indicates Stéphane Crochet, secretary general of the UNSA teachers' union.

It is not as historic as the minister would like, it is declining and it concerns only a few professors in relation to the whole, but it is not negligible.

"

" It is off the mark "

So where does the figure of 30 euros come from as a tweet by Les Pens Rouges?

From step 6, i.e. from an 8-year career, a teacher will only receive 36 euros per month as an attractiveness bonus, and this with a salary of less than 2,000 euros gross per month.

For the collective of angry professors, this is the heart of the matter.

"If our communication clashes with that of other collectives, it is because we wanted to show the vanity of this measure," explained Thomas Grenet, member of the Red Pens in charge of remuneration issues, at 

20 Minutes.

"The reality is that we are dangling substantial increases for the entire teaching staff, while only a third of teachers are concerned and that among this same third, only a handful will be able to hope to receive one hundred euros per month. “, He abounds.

Join the "leading pack" of OECD countries

A point of view shared by the union of secondary school teachers, Snes-FSU, and its deputy general secretary, Stéphanie Vénétitay, who denounces a "lure": "Between the freeze of salaries, and the decline in purchasing power that we have suffered in the last fifteen years, we are very far from what we should. Especially since in the absence of a multiannual programming law, yet promised by the Minister on numerous occasions, we have no guarantees beyond 2022. "

And the Minister of National Education has ambition.

Joining, again on a multiannual basis, the “leading pack” of OECD countries which best remunerate their teachers at the start of their careers.

French teachers are far from this today with an average of 7% lower than that of the countries of the organization.

A gap that widens even more at mid-career with an average lower of 22 to 27% for teachers from primary to high school, according to the latest OECD report on education.

"It's a bit like wanting to buy a car at 80,000 euros by putting 80 euros on the table," scribes Thomas Grenet.
